Life and work

Brouwer studied at the art academies Munich, Berlin and The Hague. He was a versatile artist who has produced monumental works for churches and secular buildings, but sometimes smaller works.

Work of Brouwer is taken into the collection of the Kempenland Museum in Eindhoven. Brouwer has inspired several later artists, including Leo Achterbergh and Antoon van Bakel. He lived and worked in Nuenen. In the vicinity of this place are many of his works present.

Some works
