Summary
Français : Theo van Hoytema, Le vilain petit canard d'après le conte d'Andersen, 1893. Il s’élança dans l’eau et nagea à la rencontre des cygnes. Ceux-ci l’aperçurent et se précipitèrent vers lui les plumes soulevées. « Tuez-moi, » dit le pauvre animal ; et, penchant la tête vers la surface de l’eau, il attendait la mort.
Theo van Hoytema (1863–1917) was a Dutch lithographer, illustrator and graphic designer, known for his book covers and calendars; especially those depicting birds. His father was Secretary-General of the Department of Finance. He was the youngest of eight children. Both of his parents died during the 1870s, so he and some siblings moved to Klein Stadwijk, a village in Voorschoten.
