Willem Koekkoek
Willem Koekkoek was a Dutch painter of the urban landscape.
Following in the family tradition, his father gave all four brothers their first art lessons. Willem also received training as an architect, but practiced that profession for only a short time. It did, however, leave a lasting influence on his choice of subject matter.
