Richard Bisschop (21 June 1849, Leeuwarden - 22 March 1926, Bergen) was a Dutch painter, graphic artist and watercolorist. ==Biography== His father was a hardware merchant. He originally trained to be an engineer, but was always interested in art because his uncle, Christoffel Bisschop and aunt, Kate Bisschop-Swift were painters. At the age of twenty-two, he decided to follow their example and take up art professionally.〔(Biographical notes ) @ AskArt.〕 He began his studies with his uncle, then attended the Rotterdam Academy of Fine Arts (now the Willem de Kooning Academy) and specialized in genre scenes, portraits, cityscapes and interiors; especially churches. When the painter Johannes Bosboom died in 1891, Bisschop was permitted to paint him while he was lying in his coffin and make a sketch of his workshop. He worked successively in Rotterdam and The Hague, where he became a member of the Pulchri Studio.〔 In 1892, he married the artist Suze Robertson, one of the Amsterdamse Joffers. Their daughter, Sara Bisschop, also became a painter of interiors, animals and marine scenes. In addition to several Dutch museums, many of his works were acquired by the American Art Association in New York (now a division of Sotheby's). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Bisschop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
