Biography
Dutch-American painter, member and founder of a noted artists family.
He was born in Amsterdam as the son of Johann Engelbert Schwartze (Vlotho) and Clara Eleonora Schildbach. When he was three, his parents moved to Philadelphia (1819), where his father started a company in paints and lacquers. His death certificate states that he was even born in Philadelphia, but that does not fit with his birth record. Maybe he and his relatives believed so.
In 1838 he returned to Europe to study fine art at the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Around 1844 he returned to Amsterdam with the intent to ship to America. But he stayed in Amsterdam. Here he became a valued portrait painter, painting teacher of his daughters Thérèse Schwartze and the sculptor Georgine Schwartze, member of the Royal Academy (1845) and artists society "Arti et Amicitiae"(1847)
He died on 28 Augustus 1874 3h AM in Amsterdam.
