Life

Van Starkenborgh, son of the lawyer Edzard Tjarda van Starkenborgh Stachouwer (1797–1872) and his wife Aleida Warmoldina Lamberta Talma (1800–1830), was the second of six children of the couple. As an aristocrat ( baron ), as mayor of Leens , as a member of the Groningen provincial parliament ( Provinciale Staten van Groningen ) and as an important co-owner of the West Frisian wadden island of Schiermonnikoog , his father enjoyed an outstanding position. Like his younger brother Willem (1823–1885), van Starkenborgh showed an interest in painting. He studied landscape painting at the Amsterdam Art Academy . After a trip to the United States , which lasted from June 1849 to 1850, and not only to New York City and Philadelphia , but also to Catskill Creek and the Catskill Mountains ( New York ) and the Potomac River ( Virginia and West Virginia ), he first settled in Arnhem . In 1852 he moved to Düsseldorf , which had developed into a center of European painting thanks to the Düsseldorf School of Painting . There he was a member of the artists' association Malkasten from 1854 to 1888 (with interruptions) . He was a member of the Düsseldorf Artists' Association from 1861 to 1888. On August 17, 1854, he married Louise Henriette Helena Cremer (1828–1896) in Arnhem, who gave birth to their son Ludwig (Alexander Lodewijk, † August 14, 1872 at sea) on September 9, 1855 in Kleve . From Düsseldorf van Starkenborgh made a number of trips - to German, Swiss, Dutch and English regions, especially to Thuringia - and participated in international exhibitions, for example in Austria ( Künstlerhaus Wien ), in the United States ( Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts , Philadelphia) and in the Netherlands (Koninklijke Akademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam). In the years 1856/1857 he lived in Kleve, in 1871 in Wageningen and from 1888 in Wiesbaden. Characteristic of his work are romantic forest and river landscapes in different moods of the day, often enlivened by figures from rural life and animal decorations.
