Simon van den Berg

Simon van den Berg was a Dutch painter, a prominent representative of 19th-century Dutch Romanticism.

Simon was a farmer's son and took up painting rather late. However, after studying with the painters Moleyn in Rotterdam, J. de Meijer and P.G. van Os, who specialized in animals and landscapes, Simon van den Berg became a prominent painter in Holland.

He painted pastoral scenes with shepherds and livestock, and also worked with etchings and lithographs. Van den Berg was director of the Mauritshuis (Maurice House) from 1880 to 1889. During his long life, he also nurtured many talented young artists.
