Douwe de Hoop (24 March 1800, Workum - 27 October 1830, Amsterdam) was a Dutch painter and draftsman.
His father, Jan de Hoop, was a wood miller. His family wanted him to pursue a career in commerce, but he chose to go against their wishes and become an artist. [1]
His initial lessons came from Joost Zeeman (1776-1845), a local painter who specialized in still-lifes. He then became apprenticed to Cornelis Kruseman in Amsterdam. This was followed by advanced instruction at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. During his stay there, he won several awards. At first, he focused on still-lifes, but expanded into portraits and genre scenes, generally lit by candles or lamps; a style that was very popular for a time. Later, he taught Petrus Kiers, who would be considered the master of candlelight painting. He also made sketches of the February flood of 1825, many of which were made into prints.
His oeuvre is relatively small, due to his early death at the age of thirty. His work may be seen at the Rijksmuseum, the Fries Museum and the Fries Scheepvaart Museum.

Willem Kalf was one of the most prominent Dutch still-life painters of the 17th century, the Dutch Golden Age. We first get acquainted with Willem Kalf through Arnold Houbraken, in his Groot Schilderboek, who speaks very highly of him. In fact, Kalf was a highly regarded and celebrated artist during his own lifetime. This was due to his extensive art knowledge and what we gain from Houbraken, his affable personality. His claim to fame now rests mostly on his mature still lifes, pronkstilleven in Dutch, which feature the most exotic and luxurious objects. This can be seen in for example, Still life with nautilus beaker and porcelain lidded bowl from 1662, which became an iconic piece of western art.

On account of his deafness, which was brought on by an illness at the age of seven, he was educated in the first Dutch institution for the deaf and dumb at Groningen (1799). The Flemish Gerardus de San, first director of the Academie Minerva, instructed Eelkema in the art of drawing.
August Allebé was an artist and teacher from the Northern Netherlands. His early paintings were in a romantic style, but in his later work he was an exponent of realism and impressionism. He was a major initiator and promoter of Amsterdam Impressionism, the artist's association St. Lucas, and the movement of the Amsterdamse Joffers. Amsterdam Impressionism – sometimes referred to by art historians as the School of Allebé – was the counterflow to the very strong Hague School in the movement of Dutch Impressionism. As a professor at the Royal Academy of Amsterdam he fostered a cosmopolitan attitude toward art and the promotion and motivation of his students, and provided a significant stimulus to developments in modern art.
