Chris J. A. van Dijk The Dutch Impressionist who's living and working in France since 2002
Impressionism remains highly relevant in a historical sense, as an important artistic movement associated with innovation and modernity. But it is also alive today as a way of looking at the world that influences the vision of contemporary artists. To offer one notable example, the artist Chris van Dijk paints in a style influenced by Impressionism and by the Romantic movement, calling his work “Romantic Impressionism”.

Later after he married his wife Ankie Mooiman in 1974, they lived in Gorinchem.
