Johan van der Bilt, born in 1882, studied at the academy in Amsterdam and then, from 1915, at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris with Fernand Sabatté. He then settled as a painter in Antwerp and from there undertook study trips to Southern Europe and North Africa. In addition to paintings, Van der Bilt also made monumental murals and designed tapestries. In connection with this, he worked at a carpet weaving mill in the United States in the 1930s.
