Johannes Theodorus (Jan) Toorop (1858 - 1928) was one of the most important Dutch visual artists of the period 1880-1910.
Initially he painted in 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 bindings.
Dutch art nouveau is often associated with his work.
In the last 20 years of his life, he was strongly Roman Catholic inspired.
