Биография
[ редактировать ]Дэвид и Питер были двумя из десяти детей, рожденных в семье банкиров. Начиная с восьми лет, они брали уроки от Йохана Хендрика Велдхюзена . [ 1 ] Это было сделано по настоянию их матери, которая была художником -любителем. Однако они оказались бедными студентами и не были намного более успешными в изучении банковской торговли. В конце концов они выбрали искусство над финансами и в 1860 году отправились в Брюссель, чтобы посещать занятия в академии Вур Кунстен . Два года спустя они вошли в мастерскую -востокалистского художника художника Жан-Франсуа . [ 2 ]
They shared a studio in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode and often served as models for each other. A large inheritance from their family enabled them to lead a Bohemian lifestyle.[1] David married in 1866, which proved to be a difficult adjustment for Pieter, but he was eventually reconciled to it. In 1875, they began to achieve some success.[3] The critic Camille Lemonnier praised their work, which led to numerous sales and commissions. In 1880, David won a gold medal at the triennial Brussels Salon. They began exhibiting more widely, including a large display at the Exposition Universelle (1889).[2]
Pieter did not get married until 1893. Soon after, he suffered a stroke and died the following year, only a month before the birth of his daughter.[3] David was griefstricken. He painted very little and his health also began to decline. He and his wife moved to Arnhem in 1895, but he missed Brussels. They returned in 1900, and he seemed to improve, but died two years later and was buried next to Pieter.
They both signed their works with their surname only, so determining who painted which canvas is often difficult.[3] Generally, David painted faster, and was more impulsive; whereas Pieter paid close attention to composition. Major retrospectives of their work were held at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag in 2008, and at the Charlier Museum in Brussels in 2010.
