Johannes Pieter van Wisselingh

Johannes Pieter van Wisselingh was a printmaker active during the mid-nineteenth century, documented professionally between the years 1830 and 1860. His known artistic output is concentrated primarily on etched or engraved landscape scenes, reflecting the naturalistic and topographical interests common in printmaking during this period.

Nine Johannes Pieter van Wisselingh prints are currently represented in major museum holdings. The entirety of his documented collection is preserved in the Rijksmuseum, establishing the work’s importance for historical and artistic reference. Representative examples of his compositions include the atmospheric Landschap bij maanlicht (Landscape by Moonlight) and the detailed topographical rendering Gezicht op Rhenen(?). Other notable scenes emphasize natural environments and coastal elements, such as Kustlandschap met ruïne (Coastal Landscape with Ruin) and Visfuik aan een begroeide waterkant (Fish Trap on an Overgrown Waterfront).

As these works are preserved in institutional collections, they are often available as high-quality prints for scholarly research and study, benefiting from their status as public domain material.
