"Around 1836 I left the studio of my master and obtained my own studio in the parental home.. .The [[w:Romanticism|romantic [Dutch] movement]] under the leadership of the highly-gifted [Wijnand] Nuijen [c. 1830] also attracted me to follow. And in spite of the fact that in this way people lost their color and embellishment and often degenerating into chic, later on, a more sensible search arose for enlivening of coloration, heightening effect and strengthening the relief. (translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)"
