Hendrik Jacobus Scholten (1824 in Amsterdam – 1907 in Heemstede), was a 19th-century Dutch painter from the Netherlands.


Biography

According to the RKD he was a pupil of Petrus Franciscus Greive and Lambertus Johannes Hansen.[1] In 1852 he became a member of the Royal Academy of Art in Amsterdam, and was a member of the Amsterdam art societies Arti et Amicitiae, Kunstbevorderend Genootschap V.W., and Vereeniging Sint Lucas.[1] He was also a member of art societies in other towns, such as the Pulchri studio in the Hague, the Schilder- en teekengenootschap Kunstliefde in Utrecht, and Kunst zij ons doel in Haarlem.[1] He became art conservator of the Teylers Stichting in 1872, which manages the art collection of the Teylers Museum.[1] In that capacity he wrote a catalog of the museum's collection, that was published in 1904.[2]

He painted several paintings that hang in the museum's galleries, as well as decorations in the Teyler's fundatiehuis, where he lived and worked from 1863 until his death.
