Antonij (Anton) Mauve (1838-1888)
Mauve was born in 1838 in Zaandam as the son of the Mennonite minister Willem Carel Mauve (1803-1869) and Elisabeth Margaretha Hirschig (1805-1876), a cousin of Antonius Hirschig, the grandfather of Anton Hirschig, who lived the last days of Vincent van Gogh. Gogh shared.[1] A year after his birth in Zaandam, the parental family moved to Haarlem, where his sister and later singer Susanna Pouwlina Mauve was born. He grew up there and developed the desire to become a painter. His father gave him permission to train as an artist, on condition that he obtain a drawing teacher's certificate. The reason for this was that it offered social security.
