Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, son of Johannes Hermanus, and the most famous of the family.

The Koekkoek family is a Dutch family which produced a large number of painters, primarily during the 19th century. With a total of eighteen painters across five generations bearing the name, the Koekkoek family is considered to be one of the largest family of painters in the world. The second-generation Barend Cornelis Koekkoek was the most influential of the family: in general, he was one of the "main exponents of landscape art" in the 19th century, and in particular, his popularity and influence through the school he founded in the city of Kleve led to the recognition of Kleve Romanticism as a specific and oft-imitated style. Since 1960, his former Kleve residence now houses the B.C. Koekkoek-Haus museum, which is dedicated to works of the family. Artists of the Koekkoek name and others in the extended family were mostly oil painters of landscapes and seascapes, but included lithographers, sculpturists, and others as well.

First and second generations

The progenitor of the artists' family was the marine painter Johannes Hermanus (1778-1851), who was born in Veere but mostly lived in Middelburg. He and his wife Anna van Koolwijk, who married in 1803, had six children. Their eldest, Barend Cornelis, was born in 1803, followed by Marinus Adrianus (1807), twins Anna and Johannes (1811), Alida (1814), and Hermanus (1815). Alida died aged only 9 months; from the children who grew to adulthood, all except Anna would follow in their father's footsteps and become painters.

From this second generation, the eldest, Barend Cornelis, would become the most successful painter of the Koekkoek family. Just as his siblings, he first learned the craft from his father, but starting in 1817, he enrolled first at the Drawing Academy of Middelburg, where he studied under Abraham Krayestein, and later, in 1822, at the newly founded Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. His unique style of landscape painting came to be known as Kleve Romanticism; his critical and financial success allowed him to open own academy, where he taught this style to painters including Johann Bernhard Klombeck and Frederik Marinus Kruseman. He married Elise Thérèse Daiwalle, daughter of his friend and teacher Jean Augustin Daiwaille, and also a painter herself, in 1833; he died aged 58 in 1862, after a period of "prolonged suffering".

Marinus Adriaan (often mistakenly called Marinus Adrianus), Johannes Hermanus' second son, was also first taught by his father, but unlike his elder brother, could not join an academy—except, later, his brother's, where he would spend some two years starting around 1837. He died aged 60, in 1868.

All but Johannes, who died aged 19, would give birth to a third generation of seven Koekkoek artists.
