About the Artist
Jean Marie Constantin Joseph "Jan" van Beers (27 March 1852 – 17 November 1927) was a Belgian painter and illustrator, the son of the poet Jan van Beers. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and soon became the leader of a group of young artists known as the "Van Beers clique." They were well known for their mischievous and eccentric behaviour, including walking around Antwerp dressed in historic costumes.
Van Beers became a celebrated portrait and genre painter, known for his technical skill and dramatic compositions. His work was exhibited internationally and he achieved considerable success during his lifetime.
