Jan Schaeffer (Rotterdam 1923-2018) was a versatile artist. He was best known for his Rotterdam harbours, landscapes, river views, cityscapes and still lifes.
All this in a romantic-figurative style, reminiscent of the Hague School.
Jan Schaeffer's artistic career is characterized by his passion for painting. Image and especially color fascinated him.
At a young age he was taught by Gerrit Wiegman, a well-known Rotterdam painter. The style of Jan's work can still be found in this.
