Willem Linnig (I) - Kipdorppoort- Antwerp

Beautiful historical and rare 19th century etching of the demolished Kipdorppoort in Antwerp by the Belgian painter and engraver Willem Linnig the Elder (1819-1885), known for his historical and genre scenes and interiors. He was born in Antwerp and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, where he was taught by Jan August Hendrik Leys. Linnig was one of the founders of the "Vereeniging der Antwerpsche etsers" in 1880, an association of Antwerp etchers.

His son, Willem Linnig the Younger (1842-1890), was also a talented painter and engraver. He trained in his father's studio and at the Academy in Antwerp. Willem Linnig the Younger became known for his realistic works and taught at the Weimar Saxon Grand Ducal Art School.

Both artists have made an important contribution to Belgian art history and their works can be found in various museums and private collections around the world.
