Product description
Johannes Theodorus (Jan) Toorop, also: Jean Theodor Toorop, (Poerworedjo (Dutch East Indies), December 20, 1858 – The Hague, March 3, 1928) was one of the most important Dutch visual artists of the period 1880–1910.
Education: the Polytechnic School in Delft (1876–1879), the Royal Academy of Visual Arts in Amsterdam (1880–1882), and the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Brussels (1882–1885).
Initially, he painted in an Impressionist style, but through Pointillism, he developed into a Symbolist painter.
He was also active as a portrait draftsman and designed ceramics, advertising posters, and book bindings. Dutch Art Nouveau is often associated with his work. In the last twenty years of his life, he was strongly inspired by Roman Catholicism. Jan Toorop was the father of Charley Toorop, grandfather of the artist Edgar Fernhout and the filmmaker John Fernhout, and great-grandfather of Rik Fernhout—four generations of artists.
Depicted are Mary with Child and worshippers. In the background, a city with a bridge and passers-by.
