Renier Roidkin
Renier Roidkin (born December 2, 1684 in Spa , † March 13, 1741 in Dreiborn ), also called René Roidkin , was a Walloon painter of the 18th century.
Life
Roidkin was mainly active in the Rhineland , Belgium and the North Eifel. As a traveling painter he drew numerous castles, churches, palaces and cityscapes. He used a brush, quill pen and pencil or ink. Many of his ink drawings were colored later.
Between 1733 and 1737 Roidkin made around 200 vedutas , all of which show properties in the Electorate of Cologne . Elector Clemens August I of Bavaria had commissioned the Walloons to carry out decoration work in his Augustusburg Palace in Brühl .
His works include two ink drawings with views of Herrenstein Castle in Winterscheid from the first half of the 18th century. However, its signature was lost during a restoration (re-framing). He is referred to here as a court painter . Among other things, he produced, together with the painter “von Cloot”, an artistically decorated family tree of the Counts of Nesselrode . Between 1725 and 1726 he created around 70 ink drawings of their possessions for these gentlemen, for example by Ehreshoven , Thum or Welterode.
Several views of the Gracht palace complex from the years 1724 to 1730 are also known.
