Hermanus Antonius (Henri) van Daalhoff was a Dutch painter. He was self-taught. He painted still lifes and, above all, buildings (farms) and landscapes.
His work is represented in various Dutch museums, including the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and the Kröller-Müller Museum.
Van Daalhof was born in Haarlem. At the age of 17, he moved to Leiden, where he began painting in his spare time. At the age of 22, he went to work as a baker in Amsterdam, among other places. He later lived and worked mainly in The Hague. He was self-taught but was strongly influenced by H.P. Bremmer in his early period. He painted in a style specific to him, a hazy pointillist style, still lifes, cityscapes, but mainly landscapes and farms.
