About Jan Jacob Coenraad Spohler

Jan Jacob Coenraad Spohler (1837–1894) was a Dutch painter and a member of a well-known family of Amsterdam artists. He was the son of Johannes Franciscus Spohler and the brother of J.F. Spohler, both of whom were also active painters. Active from the early 1850s, Spohler worked within the 19th-century Dutch painting tradition. His work appears regularly at auction, and the RKD (Netherlands Institute for Art History) holds over 650 image records attributed to him, reflecting a substantial and productive career. The Spohler family's overlapping artistic practice means collectors and appraisers should take care to distinguish between the signatures and styles of the three painters.

Common works and media

Spohler is recorded primarily as a painter working in oils. His output likely includes city views, canal scenes, landscapes, and genre subjects typical of the 19th-century Dutch school, consistent with the Spohler family's known repertoire. Works at auction are predominantly paintings on panel or canvas. Attribution of drawings or prints to this artist should be supported by expert opinion, given the family's shared practice.

Market and appraisal context

Works by Jan Jacob Coenraad Spohler appear with some regularity at European and international auctions, particularly in Old Master and 19th-century painting sales. Key valuation factors include the quality and condition of the painting, the clarity of the signature (distinguishing it from his father J.J. Spohler or brother J.F. Spohler), subject matter, size, and provenance. Attribution requires care because the three Spohler family members share similar signatures and stylistic traits. A noted discrepancy in authority records lists conflicting death years (1894 vs. 1923); the RKD considers the 1894 date correct, which may affect how late-dated works are assessed.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Value drivers

  1. Attribution should distinguish Jan Jacob Coenraad Spohler from his father J.J. Spohler and brother J.F. Spohler, who were also active Dutch painters with overlapping signatures
  2. RKD holds over 650 image records attributed to this artist, indicating a substantial body of work
  3. 277 auction records in Appraisily/Invaluable data suggest regular appearance at auction

Appraisal caveats

  • Death date is inconsistently recorded across authority files (1894 vs. 1923). RKD, the leading Dutch art documentation center, identifies the 1923 date as erroneous. This discrepancy may affect attribution of late-dated works.
