Jacob Hendrik Geerlings artwork • painting • previously for sale Cavalrist with trumpet

The Dutch impressionist Jacob Hendrik Geerlings was educated at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam under August Allebé. He painted landscapes with horses and figures, but became especially known as a painter of horse artillery hussars and Yellow Riders on the heath. Geerlings moved several times, but lived on the Veluwezoom in Rheden and Arnhem for a longer period of time. He probably also got inspiration for many of his landscapes there. A few portraits and intimate, atmospheric interiors of the painter are also known.
