Jan Victors
Jan Victors (born June 13, 1619 in Amsterdam , † December 1679 in the Dutch East Indies , today: Indonesia ) was a Dutch painter and draftsman who mainly dealt with history and portrait painting .
Life
His work fell into the so-called Golden Age , when the newly founded Republic of the Seven United Netherlands experienced a political, economic and artistic heyday. It is generally believed that Jan Victors was a student of Rembrandt in the second half of 1630 . However, there is no reliable evidence from the 17th century that proves a stay in Rembrandt's workshop.
As a result of the Rampjaar , the disaster year 1672, Jan Victors signed up for the Dutch East India Company in 1676 as " comforter " in the colonies of Indonesia. He died shortly after arriving in December of that year.
