Theodorus Maria (Theo) van Delft (Waalwijk, 21 August 1883 – Waalwijk, 11 July 1967) was a painter, sculptor and director of the Waalwijkse Teekenschool. As an artist he went completely his own way and was not influenced by the modern movements such as Dadaism, Cubism and abstract art, which were popular in his time. Rather, as far as his paintings are concerned, Theo van Delft found his sources of inspiration in Impressionism, while the influence of Renaissance art and Classicism is clearly noticeable in his sculptures and plaques. The diversity of the many assignments he received shows great appreciation for his work. His clients came from all walks of life. This includes individuals, companies, associations and municipal authorities from all over the Netherlands.
