Marike Bok (17 January 1943 – 12 June 2017) was a Dutch portrait painter.[1]
Life and work
Bok studied at the Royal Art Academy in The Hague. She's often compared[2] with other Dutch painters from the 17th century. Marike Bok painted the Dutch Queen Beatrix twice.[3][4] In 1995 she painted the Gentleman's Club[5] (De heren club). This painting is a group portrait of some well-known Dutch artists and politicians like Marcel van Dam, Harry Mulisch, Hans van Mierlo, Reinbert de Leeuw, Martin Veltman, Gerrit Komrij, Adriaan van Dis and André Spoor. In 2011 she painted former prime minister of the Netherlands Ruud Lubbers.[6] Marike Bok was often compared with classic Dutch painters like Frans Hals[7] because of her technique and also because she was the only modern portrait painter who never worked from photographs and exactly painted like the old Dutch masters.
