Pieter Haatje Pieterszoon Oosterhuis (20 January 1816–6 August 1885) was a Dutch painter and photographer, one of the photography pioneers in the Netherlands.[1]
Oosterhuis was born on 20 January 1816 in Groningen.[2] His father, Haatje Pieters Oosterhuis, was a painter, his mother's name was Grietje Schuit. The family lived in Amsterdam.[3]
In 1851, he opened his first studio in Amsterdam.[4] Between 1860 and 1870, he took many photographs of the city which now count among the earliest Amsterdam photographs. He also made stereoscopic pairs of photos.[1] After 1860, Oosterhuis also got tasks to photograph transport communications, including railways, bridges, and canals.[2]
Oosterhuis died in Amsterdam in 1885. His son Gustaaf Oosterhuis took over the studio.[2]
