Fredericus Jacobus van Rossum du Chattel (1856–1917) was a Dutch landscape painter associated with the Hague School. Renowned for his tranquil river scenes and rural Dutch vistas, he captured the reflective light and atmospheric beauty of the lowlands with poetic realism. His works were widely exhibited and admired in the Netherlands and abroad, and his imagery was frequently reproduced on ceramics and prints, often marked “naar du Chattel” to indicate they were inspired by his original compositions.
Measure: 15.5″ diameter.
