| Abraham Hesselink (1862–1930) | ||||||||||
| Hesselink was born near Groningen at Peterswold and studied at the Academy in Amsterdam under Shacké, later continuing his studies in Brussels with Van der Stappen. Examples of his statuary can be found in both the Municipal Museum and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, as well as at the Peace Palace in The Hague, where figures representing Commerce and Industry are displayed. He received a bronze medal at the St. Louis Exhibition in 1904 for his Arab Women and exhibited his Felicity, a bronze piece, at the International Exhibition in Venice in 1920. His Struggle of the Titans, awarded a gold medal in Brussels, is housed in the Rijksmuseum, reflecting the finest aspects of his artistic group. His principles, though rooted in tradition, remain solid throughout his work. In 1920, his portrait bust of Prince Hendrik was loaned to the Brighton Exhibition, lending it distinction, and his Toureg was also displayed there, later appearing at the Whitechapel Exhibition in London in 1921. | ||||||||||
