Johannes Tavenraat

Johannes Tavenraat was an artist active across the mid-19th century. His documented career spans from 1819 to 1863.

Tavenraat's extant body of work is primarily represented by graphic arts. Museum collections hold seven prints and one drawing attributed to the artist. His subjects often centered on observational studies and landscapes, including the works Hazenjacht and Studies van jagers, wild en huizen. He also produced multiple examples of Hollands landschap, indicating a specialization in Dutch scenery and the genre traditions associated with it.

The most significant known repository of his work is the Rijksmuseum. The preservation of these works in the Rijksmuseum confirms Tavenraat’s historical standing and allows for the creation of high-quality prints and reproductions today. As much of his work, including prints and downloadable artwork, has entered the public domain, it remains accessible for study and appreciation.

Although the total output of Johannes Tavenraat paintings is not fully documented in these records, the preserved collection of prints provides a clear indication of his focus on detailed draftsmanship and landscape illustration throughout his decades-long career.
