Henk Bruintjes was a graphic artist, illustrator, draftsman and painter. (Rotterdam, 1903 - 1986) From 1917 to 1920 he attended evening classes at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rotterdam, after which he left for Brussels to work.
In 1932 he returned to Rotterdam – where he lived and worked until his death.
Rotterdam was a grateful subject in his paintings. And he also witnessed the bombing. In that year (1940) Henk painted the destroyed Laurenskerk. This painting can be seen in Museum Rotterdam. He also painted a plant on the rubble a year after the bombing, you can also admire that painting in the museum at Rodezand.
