Jan Toorop (1858-1928) - Jubileum

A very beautiful lithograph, truly from that era. The dimensions of the work are 28.5 x 22.5. On the back there is a note (a poem) dated July 8, 1931, and the previous owner said that it hung in the monastery in Zwolle until the late 1970s and was taken from there. That explains the originality of this work. There is a bit of glare in the photos; in real life it looks nicer. Johannes Theodorus (Jan) Toorop, also: Jean Theodor Toorop, (Poerworedjo (Dutch East Indies), 20 December 1858 – The Hague, 3 March 1928)[3] was one of the most important Dutch visual artists from the period 1880–1910.[4] Initially he painted in an impressionistic style, but through pointillism he developed into a symbolist painter. He was also active as a portraitist 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. He was the father of Charley Toorop, grandfather of the artist Edgar Fernhout and the filmmaker John Fernhout, and the great-grandfather of Rik Fernhout.
