J. L. K. van Dort
John Leonard Kalenberg (J. L. K.) van Dort (28 July 1831 – 24 March 1898) was a 19th-century Ceylonese artist of Dutch Burgher descent.
== Early life ==
J. L. K. van Dort was born on 28 July 1831 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, the oldest of nine children, to Johannes Jacobus van Dort (1801–1876) and Petronella Margaretta Kalenberg (1806–1847). The family lived in San Sebastian (Small Pass), which adjoins Pettah, with Van Dort and his siblings attending school at St. Paul's Parochial School in Pettah and Colombo Academy, where the principal, Dr Barcroft Boake, described him as a prodigy and a genius.〔 As art was not a part of a school curriculum Van Dort did not receive any formal training in drawing and painting, although it is likely that he received some tuition from Phillipe Antoine Hippolyte Silvaf and Andrew Nicholl. Silvaf (1801–1879) was a notable local artist with French ancestry who gave lessons in music and painting from his home in Pettah. Nicholl (1804–1886) was a distinguished Irish water colourist, who travelled to Ceylon in 1846, where his Belfast patron, Sir James Emerson Tennent, had been appointed as the Colonial Secretary. Tennent secured Nicholl's appointment as teacher of landscape drawing, painting and design at the Colombo Academy. In 1855 Van Dort was employed in the Surveyor-General's office as a draughtsman 〔 a position he remained at until he retired.〔
