Albertus Verhoesen

Albertus Verhoesen was an artist whose documented activity spans at least the year 1816. Working primarily in printmaking, Verhoesen focused on intimate compositions and genre scenes featuring common livestock and wildlife, a style aligned with early 19th-century Dutch graphic arts traditions.

The artist's known output is represented by six documented prints held in museum collections. These works frequently depict animal interactions, such as Twee vechtende hanen and domestic studies like Haan met vijf kippen. Other notable Albertus Verhoesen prints include bucolic scenery and pastoral subjects, specifically Koeien bij een hek en een knotwilg and the waterfowl study Eenden aan een waterkant.

The principal collection holding these significant works is the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, establishing the historical importance and preservation of his graphic output. As objects housed in institutional archives, many of Verhoesen’s works are now accessible in the public domain, enabling institutions to disseminate high-quality prints of the artist’s oeuvre for scholarly review and public appreciation.
