Life

Hartogensis was the son of 's-Hertogenbosch lawyer Bernardus Hartogensis, a founder of the synagogue of' s-Hertogenbosch, and his wife Rebecca Cassel, who was born in Germany. At the age of fifteen he received his first drawing lessons from the painter Dominicus Franciscus du Bois (1800–1840) at the Koninklijke Academie voor Kunst en Kunstnijverheid in his hometown. After the death of his teacher, he moved to The Hague , where he was apprenticed to Samuel Verveer (1813–1876) for two years. In 1842 he went to Kleve to study at the drawing college of the Dutch landscape painter Barend Cornelis Koekkoek . From 1842 to 1846 he traveled through Belgium and Germany. After returning from this trip, he became a member of the Haagsche Etsclub , the Hague Etching Club , for three years . In 1849 Hartogensis settled in Düsseldorf and frequented the Düsseldorf school of painting . He kept his residence there until 1853, but made extensive trips to the Rhine and Moselle , and in 1850 also to Munich , where he became a member of the Stubenvoll Society , a forerunner of the Munich artists' cooperative . In 1852 Hartogensis also joined the Hague artists' association Pulchri Studio . In 1854 he stayed in the area of Zaltbommel . In 1857 he lived for some time with his brother-in-law in Rotterdam , the drawing teacher Jacobsen, who had married his older sister Dorothea Hartogensis (1820–1898). In 1857/1858 he lived temporarily in Munich, from 1858 back in Düsseldorf, where he joined the artists' association Malkasten in 1860 . Plagued by depression since the 1850s, he drowned himself in the Rhine on July 16, 1865.
