Leonard Ochtman
Leonard Ochtman (October 21, 1854 – 1935), American painter,
was born in Zonnemaire, Netherlands. He was the son of a decorative
painter. His family removed to Albany, New York in 1866.
He worked with a group of artists who were important in the development
of the impressionist movement in the United States. In 1882 he began
to exhibit landscapes at the National Academy of Design, and he
became a National Academician in 1904. His most characteristic pictures,
which recall the work of George Inness, are scenes on Long Island
Sound and on the Mianus river.
