Shall I now ask these palette-slaves what poetry means, and in how many forms it appears to us? They want to chain her [poetry], just as they are tied up themselves to their master's palette, [or] to some part of the sacred history.. ..to a folktale.. .. a miraculous landscape .. .. or other pompous imaginations.

Additional quotes by Barend Cornelis Koekkoek

(original Dutch, citaat van B.C. Koekkoek:) Het doel van den schilder is, naar mijn wijze van zien, in zoverre met dat des dichters gelijk, dat beiden op het gevoel van den beschouwer of den lezer willen werken. Dit kunnen zij onmogelijk doen, zodra hunne taferelen.. ..den stempel der natuur, de waarheid missen.. .De Nederlandschee schilder gevoelt even goed als de Duitsche den invloed der verhevenen natuur, maar de Nederlander wil eerst met het 'eenvoudige ware' bekend zijn, om hetzelve later met dichterlijke te vereenigen..

Immediately and definitively [after starting a painting] I determine the effect of sunlight, day and shadow, without being concerned with any detail. This enable me to see in the started painting the whole of it, which my mind already saw before I begun to work - I see it appearing on the panel or canvas rather soon and can consider in this way the harmony of the composed objects and colors.
