Gezienus ten Doesschate
Gezienus (or Gesinus) ten Doesschate (11 August 1885 in Zwolle – 9 March 1965 in Utrecht) was a Dutch ophthalmologist, amateur painter and historian.[1]
He was active as an amateur painter in Utrecht under the pseudonym Thomas Denier.[2] He had good contacts with the cultural elite of Utrecht around the First World War and was good friends with the painters Janus de Winter and Erich Wichman.[3] In 1916 he was briefly a member of de Anderen, a Dutch artists' group that included Theo van Doesburg, but dropped out in support of de Winter, another artists group.
At the end of his life he contributed to a number of medical-historical books concerning the University of Utrecht.[4]
His son was Jurriaan ten Doesschate (1912–1977), ophthalmologist and medical scientist
