Nibbrig, F(erdinand) Hart
(b Amsterdam, 5 April 1866; d Laren, 12 Oct 1915). Dutch painter and printmaker. From 1881 he studied at the Quellinus School in Amsterdam, and from 1883 to 1888 he attended classes with August Allebé at the city’s Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten. At the age of 22 he went to Paris for further training at the Académie Julian and in the studio of Fernand Cormon; there he first saw the work of Paul Signac and Georges Seurat, who strongly influenced his style. He had previously painted in the style of his Impressionist contemporaries Jacobus van Looy and Georg Hendrik Breitner, but after 1889 he modified his palette and began to employ the Pointillist style. In 1889 he returned to the Netherlands.
