He attended lessons at the National Normal School in the capital and was then a student of G.W. Dijsselhof. He initially painted landscapes, many Amsterdam cityscapes and interiors. His work is sturdy, robust and somewhat rough in structure. Winding people, action, movement and the epic in nature attracted him.
