About the artwork
Fedor van Kregten (1871-1937) - Cows on the waterfront

Fedor van Kregten lived and worked for a large part of his life in the hamlet of Notter near Wierden. A broadly based foundation, with a large number of working groups underneath, has set itself the goal of achieving a Van Kregten Revival in at least Wierden, but also elsewhere in the Netherlands. And perhaps internationally, because his works are from Buenos Aires to Moscow.

Apart from Wierden, Van Kregten has settled in The Hague and made a long trip to Mediterranean areas, including Spain and Morocco. In the ebb tide of the Hague School, Fedor van Kregten (1871-1937) painted his landscapes, in which there are many and many cows. Sheep herds also furnish many of his paintings. The self-taught Van Kregten was inspired by nature.

About the artist
Fedor van Kregten, Johannes Aurelius Richard Fedor van Kregten in full, was born on January 16, 1871, in Diever and died on August 8, 1937, in The Hague. He was a Dutch painter best known for his landscapes featuring livestock.
Van Kregten specialized in rural scenes in which cows, calves, and flocks of sheep play a central role. His paintings depict the Dutch countryside in a calm, balanced composition, with great attention to light, atmosphere, and natural proportions. The animals are not decorative elements, but form an essential part of the landscape.
Fedor van Kregten's work is part of the tradition of Dutch landscape painting, in which everyday rural life was captured with care and skill. His oeuvre is prized by lovers of classical landscapes and is held in private collections.
