Jan Toorop (1858-1928) - Het Gebed

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.
Charley Toorop's father was one of the important Dutch avant-garde painters from 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 artist and designed ceramics, advertising posters, and book covers. Dutch art nouveau is often associated with his work. In the last twenty years of his life, he was strongly inspired by Roman Catholicism.
