Jan lenses
Jan Linsen (* around 1602/03 probably in Hoorn ; † May 26, 1635 in Hoorn) was a Dutch painter.
Rare Dutch painter of landscapes with predominantly mythological and religious staffage. Nothing is known about his immediate origin and training. He was influenced, among others, by Bartholomeus Breenbergh , with whom he was also close friends. Other artistic role models were Cornelis van Poelenbergh , Dirck van der Lisse and Paul Bril . Between 1624 and 1626 he stayed in Rome . In 1635 he died at the age of 33 in a bar row. Very few pictures of Jan Linsen can be proven.
