Pieter Adrianus (Piet) Schipperus (Rotterdam, March 6, 1840 - The Hague, October 4, 1929) was a Dutch painter and draftsman.

Life and work: Schipperus was a son of tobacco worker Pieter Schipperus (1796-1888) and Adriana Duijshart (1797-1865). He married Johanna Maria Gehrels (1834-1909) and Hillegonda Elisabeth Heijberg (1873-1951).

Schipperus had a career in trade, he was successively a stockbroker, wine buyer and cheese merchant. As an autodidact he was busy painting in his spare time. In 1869 he became a member of Pulchri Studio, which is really only reserved for professional painters. At the age of 32 he received a grant from King William III that enabled him to devote himself fully to painting. He made landscapes, initially in watercolor, later also in oil. From 1874 to 1911 he was a board member of the Rotterdam art academy. In 1879 he became a member of Arti et Amicitiae.

From 1875 to 1888, Piet Schipperus illustrated the series Walks through the Netherlands with pen and pencil by Jacobus Craandijk, for which they traveled through the Netherlands every summer.

In 1892 Schipperus and Charles Rochussen were invited to design eight tableaux vivants, with scenes from Dutch and German history, for the golden wedding of the Duke of Saxe-Weimar and Princess Sophie. On their farewell they were made a knight of the second class of the Order of the White Falcon.

In 1910 Schipperus moved to The Hague. He died there in 1929 at the age of 89.
