1822 – The Hague – 1891 Herman ten Kate was born in 1822 in The Hague. In Paris he met Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier (1815-1891), whose work he greatly admired. Herman ten Kate specialized in historical genre scenes, inspired by Dutch history. His paintings, which are usually situated in a pub or inn, often depict figures in 17th-century clothing. They often include soldiers, drinking and playing cards in the pub. He also made a series of scenes about the Eighty Years' War. Ten Kate's work was highly valued in his time for its realistic representation and the liveliness of his scenes. In 1856 he was appointed a member of merit by the Rotterdam Academy. He was also chairman of the Amsterdam artists' society Arti et Amicitiae for a number of years.
