Erasmus Bernhard von Dülmen Krumpelmann Bad Kreuznach (Germany) 1897-1987 Zeegse

Van Dulmen Krumpelman was a Dutch painter, who moved to Amsterdam shortly after his birth. During his secondary school period he often made drawings and watercolours around the Zeedijk and Jordaan and after three years of Gymnasium he switched to a private drawing course. Through his teacher he came into contact with other artists such as August Allebé, George Breitner and Willem Witsen, who helped him develop his style. He painted mainly in an impressionistic style.

In 1921 he settled in Drenthe. There he came into contact with painters from the Groningen art circle De Ploeg, after which his painting style became looser and more colourful. Erasmus Bernhard van Dulmen Krumpelman painted numerous village and cityscapes, first in Amsterdam of course, but from 1917 he regularly worked in Drenthe. He settled permanently in Zeegse in 1921, after his marriage to the daughter of a farmer there. In addition to the cityscapes with their own dynamics, he also painted many Drenthe landscapes, circus scenes and portraits. In addition to working in the Netherlands, van Dulmen Krumpelmann also worked a lot abroad. From the mid-twenties he regularly went to Paris, where he painted a large number of canvases with views of the wide boulevards.

van Dulmen Krumpelman co-founded De Drentse Schilders in 1946, an artists' association that existed until the mid-fifties. He was then, together with his son Erasmus Herman and Evert Musch, co-founder of the Drents Schildersgenootschap (1954). He won the Cultural Prize of Drenthe in 1958.
