Johannes Hari

Johannes Hari was an artist active during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, with verifiable documentation confirming his professional output spanned from 1792 through 1832.

Hari’s represented works demonstrate proficiency across several media, including printmaking, drawing, and painting. Five distinct works are currently represented in major institutional collections, including the Rijksmuseum. These documented pieces consist of three prints, one drawing, and one painting. The subjects range from portraiture to animal studies, evidenced by the known works: the prints Koeienkop and Koeienkop naar links, and the portraits Portret van Jan Snellinck and Portret van Johannes Hari II.

The three documented Johannes Hari prints establish him as a focused graphic artist, while the single recorded painting confirms a broader practice. Given the artist’s period of activity ending in 1832, his body of work is firmly within the public domain, making the images available for historical study and reproduction as high-quality prints.
