Johan Scherrewitz was a renowned painter of landscapes and farming life. Born in Amsterdam in 1868, he was the son of a stockbroker but inherited his artistic talent from his French mother. He first studied under the landscape painters Johan Diderik Cornelis Veltens and George Poggenbeek. He is considered to be part of the 'second bloom' of the Hague School, and enjoyed painting simple working people and nature. His work was often populated with shepherds and their sheep, fishermen with their barges, carts and horses, farmers and cows. Highly regarded throughout his career, Scherrewitz was elected to the Academy of St. Luke and the Society of Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam. Between 1895 and 1903 he exhibited in The Hague, Amsterdam and Arnhem. He was successful throughout England and Scotland, exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1907, Liverpool in 1909, and the British Institute. He travelled through France and Germany and his works were widely collected throughout Europe and North America, although he was relatively unknown at home. His work can be found in the Rijksmuseum and Enschede Museum as well as many private collections including that of Queen Wilhemina of Holland.
