Biography:
Student of Rembrandt van Rijn, Jan Victors painted mostly large paintings of biblical subjects but he also did portraits, genre scenes, and historical subjects. After 1650, he began painting mostly street life, influenced by Pieter Lastman and Abraham Bloemaert. Not long after, Victors quit painting to become a ziekentrooster “comforter of the sick” for the Dutch East India Company. His position took him to the East Indies in 1676 where he died later that year.
