The son of the still-life painter Pieter Claesz (1597–1660), Berchem began his studies with his father and, according to Houbraken, was later the pupil of Jan van Goyen, Claes Moeyaert and Pieter de Grebber. He adopted the name Berchem as an adult and was registered as a master in the Haarlem Guild in 1642, after which he may have undertaken a journey to Italy with his cousin Jan Baptist Weenix (1621 – circa 1660). There is no record of his being in the Netherlands until 1646, when he married, or between 1649 and 1656. Whether or not he travelled there, his own landscapes show marked Italianate influences, but this may have been the result of his friendships with other artists who had made the trip south. He was also closely associated with Jacob van Ruisdael (q.v.) and the two artists may have undertaken a sketching tour in Germany together in circa 1650. From 1677 until his death, Berchem lived and worked in Amsterdam, and Pieter de Hooch, Carel Dujardin and Willem Romeyn were among his pupils.
*** Due to their age these are lit in order to show defects within the paper  as strong flash and light in daylight accentuates flaws within the paper. They can be sent cleaned but this would alter the tone of the paper lighter and at the moment are all matching 'au naturel' Due to me buying them cheaper and the flaws they are NOT the normal four figure price each and are to be enjoyed rather than 'invested in' To check simply google and gasp I did ! ***

Robert Hills (b Islington [now in London], 26 June 1769; d London, 14 May 1844). English painter and etcher. After taking drawing-lessons from John Alexander Gresse (1740-94), he enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools, London, in 1788. Village and rural scenes, and in particular studies of animals, occupied him throughout his working life; his favourite subjects were cattle, sheep, donkeys, pigs and above all deer, which he stalked for the purpose of sketching. As well as making plein-air drawings, Hills carried out careful anatomical studies of animal bones and joints. Between 1798 and 1815 he issued an extensive series of Etchings of Quadrupeds; the British Museum holds the artist's collection of his own etchings, which number over a thousand. He worked mostly in watercolour ( at the Fitzwilliam )but also occasionally in oils.

Robert Hills (b Islington [now in London], 26 June 1769; d London, 14 May 1844). English painter and etcher. After taking drawing-lessons from John Alexander Gresse (1740-94), he enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools, London, in 1788. Village and rural scenes, and in particular studies of animals, occupied him throughout his working life; his favourite subjects were cattle, sheep, donkeys, pigs and above all deer, which he stalked for the purpose of sketching. As well as making plein-air drawings, Hills carried out careful anatomical studies of animal bones and joints. Between 1798 and 1815 he issued an extensive series of Etchings of Quadrupeds; the British Museum holds the artist's collection of his own etchings, which number over a thousand. He worked mostly in watercolour ( at the Fitzwilliam )but also occasionally in oils.
These are from 1797-1816 from his etchings of quadrapeds released as folio and as books in 11 parts in 3 volumes Vol I: Cattle: 200 figures on 105 plates. Dogs: 55 figures on 25 plates. Pigs: 36 figures on 16 plates. Vol II: Sheep: 100 figures on 44 plates. Asses & Mules: 79 figures on 45 plates. Cattle in groups: 95 figures on 54 plates. Vol III: Fallow deer: 80 figures on 53 plates. Red deer: 68 figures on 45 plates. Roe deer: 13 figures on 9 plates. Goats: 8 figures on 4 plates.
