N.B. George Hitchcock, son of portrait painter Charles

however, Hitchcock abandoned law, and moved abroad to begin
his career as a painter. He studied with Gustave Boulanger at the
Academie Julian and then at The Hague. Hitchcock soon settled
in the town of Egmond aan Zee, near Amsterdam. There he
painted the vibrant and colorful landscapes of the Dutch tulip
fields for which he is best known. Egmond developed into an
artist’s colony, centered around Hitchcock and fellow American
expatriate, Gari Melchers. Although Hitchcock remained in the
small town of Egmond for the rest of his career, he was honored
internationally; he was elected to the National Academy of Design
in New York in 1909, and was a member of Vienna’s Akademie
der Bildenden Künste as well as the French Légion d’Honneur.
