Biography

Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot or Pieter van Reysschoot (Ghent, 18 January 1702 – Ghent, 22 or 24 February 1772) was a Flemish painter and printmaker who is known for his genre scenes, hunting scenes, landscapes, portraits and Christian religious subjects.

He spent a large part of his career in England, which earned him the nickname den Engelschman "the Englishman"). In England, he painted history and sporting (i.e., hunting) scenes and was a portrait painter working on commissions particularly from the Midlands gentry.
