Charles Leickert’s Life and Art
Born in Brussels, Belgium, in 1816, Charles Henri Joseph Leickert later migrated
to the Netherlands where he focused on depicting Dutch landscapes. His mentors (more established painters) are nearly household names in the fine-art world: 
Andreas Schelfhout, Bartholomeus van Hove and Wijnand Nuijen. 
Closely linked with the movement of 19th-century landscape paintings,
but with his own twist that included playful use of light juxtaposed against iconic pieces of Dutch life (including windmills), Leickert continues to be a key player in 
the world of Belgian painters, both past and present. 
Collectors and appreciators of his painters are familiar with three distinct
geographic periods in his life as an artist. Between 1841 and 1846 he painted in 
the Hague, working with Schelfhout, van Hove and Nuijen as well as studying at
the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, also in the Hague. He then moved to the big city, Amsterdam, where he lived from 1849-1883, before moving to Mainz, Germany, in 1887, dying 10 years after at the age of 81. His membership in the Royal 
Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences served to elevate his career by 
widening his exposure among other artists, notably Bartolomeus van Hove,
who deeply influenced his work in return.
