Influenced by In contrast with ‘follower of’, we speak of ‘influenced by’ when an artist was influenced outside the context of an educational setting or servile following. An artist can be influenced by several artists at once, or in succession. In addition, there may be question of a transition to a personal style which may demonstrate development.: Israëls, Jozef
Neuhuys, Albert (1844-1914)
Eckmann, Otto
Van de Velde, Henry
