Johannes Jelgerhuis (1770 in Leeuwarden – 6 October 1836 in Amsterdam), was a 19th-century painter and actor from the Northern Netherlands.
Biography
According to the RKD he was the pupil of his father Rienk Jelgerhuis and Pieter Pietersz Barbiers.[1] From 1808 he became an actor in the Stadsschouwburg (Amsterdam) and wrote an illustrated instruction booklet for actors.[2][3] In 1820 he started teaching acting lessons in Amsterdam and he invited his former colleague Johanna Wattier to help.
He was also known for interiors and architectural studies, with a good eye for perspective.[1] His painting of the interior of the bookshop of his publisher is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. He painted topographical works in Delft, Rotterdam, Ghent, and Amsterdam.[1]
