{"title":"Krieghoff, Cornelius","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCornelius David Krieghoff (1815-1872)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a Dutch-born Canadian-American painter of the 19th century. He is best known for his paintings of Canadian genre scenes involving landscapes and outdoor life, which were as sought after in his own time as they are today.He painted many winter scenes, some in several variants (e.g. Running the Toll). He painted in Quebec City from 1853 to 1864 and 1870 to 1872, creating a prolific portfolio of landscape and genre paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKrieghoff was born in Amsterdam, Kingdom of the Netherlands. When Cornelius was a boy, his father Johann Ernst Krieghoff returned to Germany (Krieghoff was likely of German extraction via Lorenz Krieghoff of Thuringia) and worked for Wilhelm Sattler to establish a wallpaper factory. His family was given accommodations in Schloss Mainberg, a 12th-century castle owned by Sattler, situated overlooking the Main River. He was initially taught by his father and then entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Germany about 1830. He moved to New York in 1836 and enlisted in the First Regiment of Artillery in the United States Army in 1837. While in the army, he made sketches of the Second Seminole War. He was discharged as a corporal from the army in 1840. Krieghoff travelled to Paris in 1844, where he copied masterpieces at the Louvre under the direction of Michel Martin Drolling (1789-1851).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith his wife, Émilie Gauthier, he moved to Montreal around 1846 and participated in the founding of the Montreal Society of Artists in 1847. While in Montreal, he befriended the Mohawks living on the Kahnawake Indian Reservation and made many sketches of them from which he later produced oil paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe and his family (daughter Emily) moved to Quebec City in 1853. He returned to Europe in 1854, visiting Italy and Germany. In 1855, he returned to Canada. He served for a short time in the Volunteer Militia Company of Engineers (a Canadian Militia unit in Hochelaga, Montreal), then lived in Europe from 1863 to 1868 and moved to Chicago to retire. Throughout his time in Canada, Krieghoff painted many genre scenes and landscapes. He was particularly skilled at capturing the essence of the Canadian landscapes he visited, such as Montmorency Falls and Lake St. Charles. His paintings, naturalistic scenes with immense detail, depict life in nineteenth-century Quebec, including activities such as trading, travelling, industry, and city life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe died in Chicago on 5th March 1872, at the age of 56, and is buried in Graceland Cemetery in Chicago. A decade later, on 8th June 1881, the Great Quebec Fire destroyed many of the sketches he had done at the time of his service in the First Regiment of Artillery in Florida, which were owned at the time by John S. Budden, who had lived with the artist for thirteen years.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"krieghoff-cornelius-1815-1872-return-from-the-hunt-1871","title":"Krieghoff, Cornelius (1815-1872) - Return from the Hunt 1871","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by the Canadian-American-Dutch artist Cornelius Krieghoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 6078 pixels wide by 3600 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/krieghoff-cornelius\" title=\"Cornelius Krieghoff\"\u003eCornelius Krieghoff\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61335908745546,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Krieghoff_Cornelius_1815-1872_-ReturnfromtheHunt1871_main.jpg?v=1773523749"},{"product_id":"krieghoff-cornelius-1815-1872-the-blacksmiths-shop-1871","title":"Krieghoff, Cornelius (1815-1872) - The Blacksmith's Shop 1871","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by the Canadian-American-Dutch artist Cornelius Krieghoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 6076 pixels wide by 3605 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/krieghoff-cornelius\" title=\"Cornelius Krieghoff\"\u003eCornelius Krieghoff\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61335984701770,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Krieghoff_Cornelius_1815-1872_-TheBlacksmith_sShop1871_main.jpg?v=1773523748"},{"product_id":"animals-in-the-snow-101-high-resolution-images","title":"Animals in the Snow - 101 High Resolution Images","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor this lovely Christmassy collection, we've brought together snow scenes featuring animals and birds, perfect to use for Christmas cards, calendars, craft projects, and whatever you want to use them for, without restriction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are 101 images in the collection, including polar bears, penguins, horses, dogs, rabbits, deer, sheep, a fox, a stoat, a snow leopard, various birds and much more.
