Johan Frederik Cornelis Scherrewitz (Amsterdam 1868-1951 Hilversum)
Born in Amsterdam, Scherrewitz was initially destined to become a stockbroker, just like his father.
Yet this talented artist could not resist his urge to paint and would steer himself into an artistic
career. In his spare time, Scherrewitz received drawing lessons from renowned painter Geo
Poggenbeek and at the age of 25-years-old he fully commits to his artistic dream.
Scherrewitz was heavily influenced by the artists of the famous Hague School, the leading painting
style of his youth. Painters such as Jozef Israëls, Anton Mauve and Jacob Maris made a deep
impression on the young artist. Just as the painters of the Hague School, Scherrewitz would focus on
the atmosphere of landscapes and the daily life of normal everyday farmers. Whether he depicted
fishers on the North Sea shore, sheepherders on the heath or horse-riding farmers in the Dutch
polders, he captured the essence of Dutch landscapes like no other. His paintings often have a silver
shine because of the cloudy grey sky, which dominates the Dutch landscape for most of the year.
After 1914 this style became out of fashion in the Netherlands and Scherrewitz would focus on
markets overseas. His paintings became extremely popular in the United States of America, Canada,
England and Scotland. Most of his painting were sold to wealthy American collectors. Nowadays the
paintings of Scherrewitz can still be found in private collection in North America and the United
Kingdom as well as museum in the Netherlands such as the Rijksmuseum Twenthe.

Decorate a study or office with this elegant antique painting. Set in a Newcomb-Macklin frame, and titled "The Golden Country", the artwork depicts a typical American rural scene with a peasant in a carriage pulled by his three horses. The canvas is signed by the artist in the lower right corner; Krawiec gained national acclaim for his vibrant views of the American Scene, painting in a Realist technique the unvarnished, everyday images of common Americans at work or at play.
