Charles Rochussen
Charles Rochussen was a 19th-century painter from the Netherlands, who was also known as an illustrator and printmaker. While still a child, Charles showed a talent for drawing; between 1831 and 1834 he produced watercolor studies of birds. In 1837 he enrolled at the academy in The Hague, where he was taught by Wijnand Nuijen andAnthonie Waldorp. During his Hague period, which lasted until 1843 (or, according to some sources, 1846), he painted landscapes and beach and village views. Then he started painting looser, more along the lines of the upcoming Impressionism movement.
