  • About the artist

    Johannes (Johan) Meijer (Zwolle, April 5, 1885 – Laren, April 29, 1970) was a Dutch painter. He lived in Amsterdam until 1912, until 1925 at Zandgat 906 in Laren and then in villa Le Paradou at 5 Heideweg in Blaricum. He was married to Alberta Johanna Smetz.

    Meijer studied at the School of Applied Arts (Amsterdam) and attended the evening class of the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam for three years (1907-1910). Johan Meijer was a student of Arnold Marc Gorter, among others. He was Gorters' assistant for seven years. He then continued his studies in Paris. Meijers' style was strongly influenced by his teacher Gorter. He mainly painted landscapes in a neo-impressionist style.

    During his period in Blaricum, he mainly chose the Gooiersgracht as his subject. He captured the trees and water in all kinds of weather conditions. He had a preference for birch trees and pollard willows.

    Johan Meijer taught Wilbrandus Joannes Koppius and Alberta Johanna Smetz.

    Johan Meijer was a member of Arti et Amicitiae, Sint Lucas in Amsterdam, the Association of Visual Artists Laren-Blaricum and the Dutch Art Circle. He exhibited at the exhibition Our art today in 1939 in the Rijksmuseum.
