ProfessionalProduct description
Johannes Theodorus (Jan) Toorop, also known as Jean Theodor Toorop, was born in Poerworedjo (Dutch East Indies) on December 20, 1858, and died in The Hague on March 3, 1928. The father of Charley Toorop, he was one of the important Dutch avant-garde painters of the decades before and after 1900. He painted, watercolored, etched, and drew landscapes, figures, nudes, and portraits. 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.
In the Netherlands, Toorop developed his 'linear idealism' in a religiously oriented Art Nouveau style, thereby moving in the direction of Symbolism. In 1894, he created a lithograph for the NOF to promote Delftsche Slaolie, in which Art Nouveau was very strongly expressed. Due to the fame of this lithograph, Art Nouveau in the Netherlands was also referred to as 'salad oil style'. From 1890 to 1892 and from 1899 to 1904, he lived in Katwijk aan Zee. Here he created, among other works, *De Zee* (The Sea) (Rijksmuseum Amsterdam). His daughter Charley was born in Katwijk in 1891.
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.
