BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Source: unknown, to be determined.
Biography artist: Hendrik Gerrit ten Cate (1803-1856) lived and worked in Amterdam all his life. He was a pupil of George Pieter Westenberg, who was known for his cityscapes. Ten Cate painted portraits, landscapes and still lifes. Later he preferred to paint cityscapes by moonlight. He also made many winter landscapes and his Dutch ice scenes, finely worked out and decorated with countless figures, were particularly popular. He painted in the Romantic style, as was in vogue in the first half of the nineteenth century. Ten Cate was a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts and taught H.J. Elzer, A. Eversen, K. Karsen, M. Parre, C. Springer and A.M. van Veeren. His son, also a Hendrik Gerrit, married Celestine Gabriel. So their fathers were colleagues at the same school. His work can be seen in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Museum Kruller Muller Otterlo, Boymans van Beuningen Rotterdam, the Frans Hals Museum Leiden, the Teylers Museum Haarlem and the Haags Gemeente museum.
