Napoleon Bonaparte had transformed all of Europe, the old order had been turned upside down. Scheffer's birthplace was Dordrecht in the Batavian Republic, which had been created only a few days before his birth. This construct was the forerunner of the Kingdom of Holland, whose king was Louis Napoleon, one of Bonaparte's brothers.
Scheffer's parents were both artists, painter the father, miniature painter the mother. His brother Henry also became a painter. Ary's talent became obvious very early. His parents started his education and at the age of eleven he started studying art at the academy in Amsterdam. He exhibited his first major work at the age of 13. When he was 17 years old the family moved to Paris, where Ary received further instruction. He got to know the later famous painters Delacroix and Gericault, whose influence can be felt in his painting style. Throughout his life Scheffer remained very close to Louis of Holland and even taught his children. Through these relationships he received countless commissions from members of high society who loved to have their portraits painted by him. Scheffer had a daughter who also became a painter. One of his students was the sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi who later designed the Statue of Liberty for New York.
In keeping with the taste of the time, Scheffer's painting was initially strongly influenced by classicism, his motifs from Greek and Roman antiquity, the clear language of form and colorfulness. He painted works after literary models by Dante, Shakespeare and Goethe, illustrated ballads and poems. Many religious motifs also found their way into his work. His style emancipated itself from that of other Romantics and found much appeal. Over 500 portraits of such famous contemporaries as Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt or Charles Dickens consolidated his reputation. He died highly decorated in Argenteuil on 15 June 1858.
