Cornelis Springer Biography

(b Amsterdam, 25 May 1817; d Hilversum, 20 Feb 1891). Dutch painter and printmaker. As the son of a carpenter he was initially destined to become a house painter. After primary school he served an apprenticeship with the house and carriage painter Andries de Wit. His eldest brother, Hendrik Springer (1805–67), an architect, taught him architectural and perspective drawing. From 1827 he was registered at the Amsterdam Akademie voor Beeldende Kunsten, where he worked under Jacobus van der Stok (1795–1864) and Herman Gerrit ten Cate (1803–56). At the age of 17 he entered the Exhibition of Work by Living Masters (1834) in Amsterdam and continued to exhibit there until 1890, sending more than 120 paintings in all. In 1835 he studied with the architectural painter Kaspar Karssen (1810–96). From him he learnt how to paint, in a conventional Dutch manner, entirely or partially imaginary townscapes of warmly-lit 17th-century buildings, a genre that was to dominate his output until the mid-1850s (e.g. the Walburgis Church in Arnhem , 1841; Arnhem, Gemeentemus.).
