A great Dutch master painter who unfortunately lived only 31 years. His entire oeuvre, created between 1907 and 1918, comprises about 150 paintings, mostly small formats, around 100 drawings and over 40 sheets of graphic art, mainly etching and woodcuts.

Jan Mankes went into art history as “Holland’s most tranquil painter.” He died young of tuberculosis, something that contributed to the myth-making surrounding his artistry.
