Hubertus van Hove was born on May 3, 1814 in The Hague where he studied at the Academy under his father, Bartholomeus Johannes van Hove (1790-1880) and Hendrik van de Sande Bakhuyzen. In 1854 he moved to Antwerp where he worked with Leys. His earlier work included landscapes, but he turned increasingly to seventeenth-century interior scenes reminiscent of de Hooch. He died in Antwerp on November 14, 1865.
