Charles Leickert Biography

(b Brussels, 22 Sept 1816; d Mainz, 5 Dec 1907). Dutch painter. He moved to The Hague as a child, studying drawing at the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten and painting with Bartholomeus Johannes van Hove, Wijnand Nuyen and Andreas Schelfhout. Nuyen’s influence is discernible in Leickert’s taste for picturesque townscapes enlivened by such details as drying laundry (Townscape , c. 1860; The Hague, Gemeentemus.). Many motifs in Leickert’s winter scenes, such as Winter View with a Distant Town (1850; Amsterdam, Rijksmus.), are reminiscent of Schelfhout’s work; however, Leickert often used light as a means of providing a structure for his compositions, which were not as tightly designed as Schelfhout’s. Moreover, even his best paintings, such as Winter View (1867; Amsterdam, Rijksmus.), do not match up to Schelfhout’s depiction of ice. Leickert was exceptionally prolific and consequently often repeated himself. The wintry townscapes now in Haastrecht (Mus. Sticht. Bisdom van Vliet) and Rotterdam (1871; Boymans–van Beuningen) are virtually identical. Leickert’s sketches, sometimes in an almost impressionistic style, are much more original. He rarely produced finished drawings. He lived in Amsterdam between 1847 and 1887 and then settled in Mainz, where the Mittelrheinisches Landesmuseum holds his sketchbooks and drawings.
