Landscape in the mountains by Alexander Joseph Daiwaille

Alexander Joseph Daiwaille (January 21, 1818 – 1888) was a Dutch portrait painter.

Daiwaille was born at Amsterdam, and his father was the painter Jean Augustin Daiwaille.^[1] Alexander specialized in painting portraits, like his father, although he later in life painted landscapes. He traveled and worked all around the Netherlands and Germany, including Hilversum (1833-1834), Kleve (1834-1835), Nijmegen (1835-1836), The Hague (1836-1839), and back to Kleve (1840-1848), where he worked with his brother-in-law the landscape painter Barend Cornelis Koekkoek.^[1] Daiwaille then moved and settled in Brussels where he lived until his death in 1888.
