Antoon Philippus Derkzen van Angeren

Derkzen van Angeren first trained as a delftware artist, working at a pottery factory in Delft until ca. 1901. He was also a self-taught printmaker and was making his first etchings at this time. Between 1911 and 1952 he was primarily active in Rotterdam, where he worked as a teacher at the Academy of Visual Arts (1911-1943). Derkzen van Angeren's paintings and drawings include townscapes, figure studies, portraits, gardens, still lifes, and landscapes. From ca. 1905 he increasingly concentrated on printmaking; he is particularly noted for his river and polder landscapes.
