After four years at The Hague, where he painted The Menagerie of William III at Loo, Melchior settled in Amsterdam. He painted all forms of animal life, but is best known for his depiction of birds and fowl, in which he has few equals. Representative works, executed in a smooth, precise style, include the Dead Cock Related Paintings of HONDECOETER, Melchior d :. | Peacocks and Ducks sf | A Pelican and Other Birds Near a Pool, | Das Vogelkonzert | stilleben med faglar och jaktredskap | View of a Terrace | Related Artists: Frits ThaulowNorwegian Impressionist Painter, 1847-1906

S?rensen (1818-79). He spent two winters at Karlsruhe (1873-4, 1874-5) as the pupil of Hans Gude and then went to Paris, where he spent much of the period 1875-9. His marines and coastal pictures, some of which were accepted at the Paris Salon, were only moderately successful, but he acquired a fair knowledge of contemporary French Realist art and felt that Norwegian artists should learn from it.
