Marius de Leeuw

Marius de Leeuw ('s-Hertogenbosch 1915 – 2000) is known for his monumental stained-glass windows and wall paintings in various techniques. These can be found all over The Netherlands in churches and public buildings. Besides this de Leeuw made paintings, gouaches, drawings, watercolours and graphic work. He painted mainly human figures, still lifes and abstract works. De Leeuw received his training in 's-Hertogenbosch, Rotterdam and the Royal Academy in Amsterdam, where he was a student of Heinrich Campendonk (a noted member of an influential art movement of the 20th century, Der Blaue Reiter). From 1953 – 1980 de Leeuw worked at the Royal Academy of Art and Design in ’s-Hertogenbosch as teacher and adjunct director.
