Johan began his art training at the Danish Academy of Fine Arts and was a student of both Danish Painter Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783 – 1853) and Danish Flower Painter Cladius (Claus) Detlev Fritzsch (1765 – 1841).
He decided to specialize in flower painting and continued his artistic education in Paris France under the Flemish flower painting brothers Gérard van Spaendonck (1746 – 1822) and Cornelis van Spaendonck (1756 – 1839), as well as at the porcelain factory in Sèvres, Hauts-de-Seine, Francie (one of Europe’s principle porcelain factories founded in 1740) where he learned the art of miniature flower painting.
Back in Denmark Johan used 17th century Dutch flower painting as a starting point to develop his own unique style; reviving the art of flower making in Denmark.
His painting generally featured floral arrangements that were both decorative and symbolic; as Danish plants were often mixed with rare flowers and fruits and sometime birds.
