Jan Ernst Abraham Volschenk (1853 - 1936)

JEA Volschenk was born to Dutch parents, who farmed near Riversdale in the Southern Cape, in 1853. He attended school in Riverdale and later joined Reitz & Versfeld, a firm of attorneys, as bookkeeper, while painting in his spare time.

In 1893 Volschenk accompanied the Reitz family on a study trip to Europe visiting art galleries in the UK, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. Stimulated by the art that he had seen overseas, he joined the SA Drawing Club in 1894 and exhibited with them.

In 1899 he married Helen Smallberger and had nine daughters, one of whom, Vera Volschenk, went on to become an artist.

In 1904 at the age of 51, Volschenk gave up his professional occupation as accountant and turned his full attention to painting. He was an entirely self taught landscape painter, working predominantly in oil, though occasionally in watercolour, and also produced a number of wood engravings*.
