He attracted notice in the Paris Salon of 1885 with his Tulip Growing, of a Dutch garden he painted in the Netherlands. For years he had a studio in that country near Egmond aan Zee,[3] where he started his "Art Summer School" that later resulted in a group of returning summer artists, including Gari Melchers, that informally became the Egmondse School (1890-1905).[1] He received these students and guests at his "Huis Schuylenburgh", a large estate in Egmond aan den Hoef.
Hitchcock married Henrietta Walker Richardson on July 6, 1881. He divorced her on July 31, 1905, and nine days later married Cecil Jay,[4] a student at the Art Summer School who was thirty-three years his junior. The newlyweds moved to Paris, effectively ending the summer school.
At the time of his death in 1913, he was living in a houseboat in the harbor of Marken, Netherlands.[5][6]
