Gerard van Nijmegen

Gerard van Nijmegen was an artist active across the mid to late 18th century, with recorded professional activity spanning 1745 to 1790. His surviving documented corpus suggests a focus on landscape subjects executed in graphic arts, though he is also represented by limited output in oil painting.

Verifiable works by Van Nijmegen are substantially represented in the collections of the Rijksmuseum. The inventory held by institutions demonstrates a specialization in printmaking, with twelve prints documented, alongside two drawings and one painting. The subject matter typically centers on nature and landscape compositions, as evidenced by titles such as the drawing Boom and the print Landschap met een boom.

Van Nijmegen’s oeuvre also includes specific examples related to civic or institutional contexts, notably the print Embleem voor een Rotterdams kunstgenootschap. Other documented works include Landschap met een bomengroep langs een weg and Twee geiten. The institutional preservation of these Gerard van Nijmegen paintings and prints ensures their availability for study. Many of these historical images, digitized from museum-quality sources, are available as downloadable artwork for research and enjoyment.
