Herman Johannes van der Weele

He is the father of Dutch entomologist Herman Willem van der Weele (1879–1910).

He received advice from Anton Mauve and Johannes Bosboom.

Mauve's influence can be detected in van der Weele's paintings.

He painted flocks of sheep, sheep barns, stable interiors, meadows with cows, sand drifts, foresters with horses, farmers plowing with an ox team, milkmaids tending cows, street scenes with coaches, and sand quarries.

Van der Weele occasionally worked in Limburg and Drente, but he usually spent his summers around Nunspeet in the Veluwe.
