Nico Wilhelm Jungmann

Nico Wilhelm Jungmann (Amsterdam, February 5, 1872 - London, August 14, 1935), also known as Nico Jungman, was a Dutch painter of landscapes and figural subjects. He was also a book-illustrator and decorator. Jungmann studied with a church painter and also at the Royal Academy, Amsterdam. He came to London about 1893 on a scholarship and became a naturalized British subject, returning to Holland frequently, to paint in Volendam. As a naturalised Briton, he was interned by German forces during the First World War, which led eventually to the break-up of his marriage. Jungmann made several painting excursions to Brittany and Holland with his friend and fellow-painter Charles W. Bartlett.

Family

In 1900 Jungman married Beatrice Mackay, and they had three children, Loyd, Zita and Theresa (baby), divorcing in 1918. Beatrice remarried to Richard Guinness (from the banking branch of the Guinness family), as his second wife.

Loyd had two children, Richard and Stewart.

Zita and Teresa became famous as "Bright Young People" in the 1920s. Zita lived to 102 and was the subject of many obituaries.^[1] Teresa, known as "Baby", married Graham Cuthbertson in 1940 and had two children, Penelope and Richard. Like her sister she also lived to 102.^[2]
