Charles Henri Joseph Leickert (Brussels, September 22, 1816 – Mainz, December 5. 1907) was a Belgian painter of Dutch landscapes. Leickert specialised in winter scenes, sometimes romanticising the sky in pale blues and bright pinks. He painted almost all his works in the Netherlands, from 1841-1848 in The Hague, and from 1849-1883 in Amsterdam. In 1856, he became a member of the Royal Academy of Amsterdam. At the age of 71 he moved to Mainz, Germany where he later died in 1907.
