Anthonie Waldorp (1803 - 1866)

Anthonie Waldorp

Anthonie Waldorp or Antoine de Saaijer Waldorp was a Dutch painter and predecessor of the Hague School. He studied in The Hague under the renowned decorative painter Joannes Brackenheimer, Jr. He began painting stage sets. Later he concentrated on home and church interiors and portraits (people in 17th century costumes).

Anthony Waldorp specialised in river and seascapes (paintings, drawings and watercolours). This proved to be a wise decision as it led to international recognition. He also did lithography.
