Brief Biography-Marthinus Johannes de Jongh, known as Tinus de Jongh, was born in Amsterdam, where he trained as a decorative painter in a craft school. He became a self-taught artist through his knowledge of paint. He spent two years in an art school, where he was unsatisfied. However, his talents were eventually recognised by the Stedelijk Museum when they acquired one of his works. In 1912, he received royal consent to paint scenes of the royal palace, which gained him much praise. |
