Biography

Hitchcock graduated from Brown University, and from Harvard Law School in 1874. Hitchcock began his formal art education at the Heatherley's School of Fine Art in London in 1879.[1] He then turned his attention to art and became a pupil of Gustave Boulanger and Jules-Joseph Lefebvre at the Académie Julian in Paris in 1882.[2]Шаблон:Sfn

He attracted notice in the Paris Salon of 1885 with his Tulip Growing, of a Dutch garden he painted in the Netherlands. For years he had a studio in that country near Egmond aan Zee,Шаблон:Sfn where he started his "Art Summer School" that later resulted in a group of returning summer artists, including Gari Melchers, that informally became the Egmondse School (1890-1905).[1] He received these students and guests at his "Huis Schuylenburgh", a large estate in Egmond aan den Hoef.

Hitchcock married Henrietta Walker Richardson on July 6, 1881. He divorced her on July 31, 1905, and nine days later married Cecil Jay,[3] a student at the Art Summer School who was thirty-three years his junior. The newlyweds moved to Paris, effectively ending the summer school.

At the time of his death in 1913, he was living in a houseboat in the harbor of Marken, Netherlands.[4][5]
