Beautiful lithograph by Jan Toorop from 1917 "Euchristie I" In original frame of the famous art dealership J. Jesse from The Hague.
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 from the period 1880-1910. Initially he painted in impressionist style, but through pointillism he developed into a symbolist painter.
He was also active as a portrait artist 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 film maker John Fernhout and great grandfather of Rik Fernhout - four generations of artists.
