Willem Jacobus Boogaard
  • Biography

    Willem Johan Boogaard is a well-known equestrian painter. Born in Haarlem in 1842, he was still very young when he apprenticed to Pieter Frederik van Os, part of a large family of painters.

    Like his teacher, Willem Johan specialized in painting horses, especially draught horses resting in the stables after a hard day's labor. He is also known to have painted genre scenes with animals, a handful of landscapes and still lives. The Teylers Museum in Haarlem has work by his hand.
