Chris Huidekooper, also seen as Huidekoper, was a Dutch painter, watercolorist and draftsman. He was also a novelist and gave lectures on European architecture. Around 1893 he started working as an artist in the Netherlands and was a pupil of the famous painter and writer Jacobus (Jac) van Looy. The period from 1901 to 1909 was spent in various European countries (Italy, Germany and Spain) before he returned to Haarlem and later to Amsterdam. In 1925 Huidekooper travelled again to München and Verona. His range of subjects covered figure and nude figures, Christian religious representations, views of villages and landscape, still lifes and flowers, as well as portraits. He was a member of a 19th century artist society in Amsterdam called Arti et Amicitiae meaning Arts and Friendship.
