Short biography of 'Willem' Hendrik van den Berg.
Willem van de Berg was a student of his father, Andries van den Berg, of the Academy in The Hague and of Willem van Konijnenburg, who had a lot of influence on him. He painted and watercolored portraits, the peasant life of Limburg and Gelderland and the fisherman's life of Scheveningen, Spakenburg and especially Volendam. In his work he deliberately maintained a naturalistic style and traditional craftsmanship, at a time when great innovations were taking place in painting. Between 1938 and 1953 he was director-teacher of the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam.
