Jan Van Os
ARTISTThe style of the artist Jan van Os, a Dutch painter of the 18th century, can be compared with the flower painting of Jan van Huysum . He entered the visual arts scene as a phoenix of flower and fruit painters and was already active a full century earlier. The rich flower arrangements of both painters merge in colour to form a masterpiece, which is often enriched with fruit components. Jan van Os learned his art at the master school of Aert Schouman and studied there from 1710 to 1721. While the still young painter initially felt an affinity for the seascapes, his interest was influenced in the years that followed by his turn to flora. Ultimately it was these motifs that gave his artist name an international reputation. Another passion of this exceptional artist was writing poems and plays.
