Andreas Schelfhout ranks, together with Barend Cornelis Koekkoek and Bart van Hove, among the most important painters of the Romantic School. He painted summer and winter landscapes, coastal scenes, and some seascapes. Schelfhout won important prizes at exhibitions both at home and abroad. Even during his life many museums and collectors bought his paintings. For example, King William III was a great fan of the Hague painter. Schelfhout’s influence on the younger generation of painters has been unprecedented. Moreover, he trained many pupils. Several of them later also became well-known painters, such as Wijnand Nuijen, Johan Barthold Jongkind, Charles Leickert, Jan Willem van Borselen, Lodewijk Johannes Kleijn, Johannes Franciscus Hoppenbrouwers and Margaretha Roosenboom.
