- Ben van Londen (Arnhem, July 25, 1907 – Wageningen, November 17, 1987) was a Dutch painter, watercolorist, lithographer, and draftsman. Life and Work: Ben van Londen trained at the Arnhem Academy of Art and studied under, among others, Gijs Jacobs van den Hof, Gerard van Lerven, Xeno Münninghoff, and Hendrik Valk. He undertook study trips to Belgium, France, and Italy. Van Londen lived on the ship "Tamalone," which he also used as an exhibition space. After the Second World War, the ship was usually moored in Wageningen near Lexkesveer and, in winter, in Grebbesluis near Rhenen. He was a member of the artists' associations Pictura Veluvensis, Artibus Sacrum in Arnhem, and De Acht. Ben van Londen was one of the driving forces behind the revival of Pictura Veluvensis after the war. Van Londen is known for his river landscapes, especially his depictions of floodplains, but he also created portraits. He taught in Nijmegen and Wageningen.
