Henry Lot (1822 - 1878)

Henry Lot

Henry (Hendrik) Lot was a Dutch animal and landscape painter of the Düsseldorf School.

Lot specialised in particular in the depiction of river and forest landscapes on the Lower Rhine, with occasionally identifiable city silhouettes in the distance.

Contemporary critics praised his ability to create images with the simplest means and an "unsought naturalness" in his works. Occasionally his painting was characterised as "in the manner of the old Dutch". From 1854 to 1860 he was a member of the Düsseldorf artists' association Malkasten.
