A great Dutch master artist who unfortunately died at only 31. His entire oeuvre, created between 1907 and 1918, comprises about 150 paintings, mostly small in size, about 100 drawings and well over 40 sheets of graphic works, mainly etchings and woodcuts.

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