Willem G. F. Jansen
Willem George Frederik Jansen was born in Harlingen, Netherlands, in 1871. He initially trained as a blacksmith and fitter at a vocational school in Arnhem before moving to Haarlem, where he befriended a decorative painter who introduced him to painting. This encounter led him to train as a decorative painter at the Kunstnijverheidsschool (School of Applied Arts) in Haarlem. After completing his education, he worked on ceiling paintings in Amsterdam and was appointed chief designer at the Rozenburg pottery factory in 1896.
Jansen married Hildegonda Zijlstra in 1898 and lived between 1899 and 1908 in Loosduinen near The Hague and in Amsterdam. During his time in The Hague, he was influenced by the work of Hague School painters, particularly Jacob Maris, whose impressionistic brushwork and focus on Dutch landscapes shaped Jansen's artistic development. His paintings included landscapes with windmills, cityscapes, sea and beach scenes, farmyards, river views, meadow landscapes, and heath scenes with sheep. He was noted for his skill in color nuances, particularly in whites, greens, and greys.
In 1908, after a visit to Willem Knip in Laren, Jansen moved to Het Gooi and settled in a former brewery in Blaricum. This move allowed him to make a living solely from his painting. Until 1920, he worked primarily in the Gooi region and made trips to Brabant and Drenthe. After 1920, he frequently worked in Egmond aan Zee, where his family had a house and where he could study fishing boats and shell fishermen on the beach in his own studio.
Jansen was a member of Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam and the Haagse Kunstkring. He befriended Théophile de Bock in The Hague and gained recognition through his participation in exhibitions. He worked as a painter, draftsman, etcher, and lithographer, creating thousands of paintings that are considered part of the later development of the Hague School. His work sold well, and he established relationships with art buyers in England, America, and Canada. Willem George Frederik Jansen died in Blaricum in 1949, where he had lived for the latter part of his career.
