Fredericus Jacobus van Rossum du Chattel was a Dutch landscape painter, etcher and draftsman of the Hague School.

Fredericus Jacobus van Rossum du Chattel was born on February 10, 1856 in Leiden, his father Jan Hendrik van Rossum du Chattel was a genre painter. He attended the art school in Leiden and studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. Shortly afterwards he started his apprenticeship with the painter Willem Maris.

In the beginning he worked a lot in Vreeland, later (from 1887 to 1908) a lot in the area around The Hague and Scheveningen.

He painted in the style of the Hague School, with influences from Impressionism. The motifs were mostly landscapes by the water, rural scenes with villages, farms and mills, but often also winter scenes. He observed the landscapes very closely, so he managed to reproduce a very personal interpretation in his works of art.

Van Rossum du Chattel enjoyed national and international recognition. Several of his works have been sold abroad, especially in the United States, his works have been appreciated.

From 1908 to 1911 and from 1914 to 1917 he made trips to the former Dutch-Indian colony, where he painted Indian landscapes. He also visited the Philippines.

On the way back from his last trip, van Rossum du Chattel died on March 10, 1917 as a result of an accident during a stopover in Yokohama. He was buried there too.
