Sigisbert Chrétien Bosch Reitz, known as Gijs (1860-1938) was a Dutch painter in the Impressionist and Symbolist styles. He was also associated with the Laren School.

Biography

Bosch Reitz was born to a wealthy family and began his working career as a merchant. At the age of twenty-three, he decided to become an artist instead. After briefly attending the Quellinusschool, in Amsterdam, he went to Munich,[1] where he took various drawing and painting courses, then finished his training at the Académie Julian in Paris, under the direction of William-Adolphe Bouguereau.[2]

Upon his return, he settled in Katwijk aan Zee, but left after a short time to participate in the Exposition Universelle (1889), then went to England, where he lived in Runswick Bay and St. Ives before returning to Amsterdam.[2]

He could not settle down, however, moving to Het Gooi in 1892, first in Eemnes, then Laren. Between each move, he travelled; to France, the United States and Japan, where he made a detailed study of Japanese art. This won him an international reputation and, from 1915 to 1927, he was a consultant on "Far Eastern Art" for the Metropolitan Museum in New York.[1] He also managed a collection of Chinese porcelain at the Louvre.[2]

He produced relatively few paintings because he worked slowly, paid great attention to detail and often strove hard to achieve a tapestry-like effect. Even his simplest, decorative-style works were the result of lengthy, concentrated effort. {{ill|Richard Roland Holst|nl}} and Ferdinand Hart Nibbrig were good friends, but he generally remained aloof from the other artists at Laren and their social or professional affairs.[1]

He died in an accident involving one of the steam-powered trolleys that ran between Laren and Amsterdam;[1] known as the "{{ill|Gooische Moordenaar|nl|Gooische Stoomtram#De Gooische Moordenaar}}" (The Killers of Gooi) due to the number of fatal accidents they caused.
