Hendrikus Elias Roodenburg was a Dutch painter and etcher. He learned his trade from the graphic artist Philippe Zilcken and became known for his city views of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Gorinchem and Utrecht.
In the 1960s Nutroma offered the possibility of getting free tableware from Villeroy & Boch. On this set, Roodenburg’s black and white drawings of Amsterdam cityscapes were depicted.
Roodenburg was a member of several artists’ associations, including Arti et Amicitiae and Sint Lucas in Amsterdam and Pulchri Studio in The Hague. The book “H.E. Roodenburg (1895-1987): topographical etcher” gives an overview of Roodenburg’s graphic work. These great etchings are all represented in the catalog.
