Jan Toorop, born Johannes Theodorus Toorop, was a major Dutch painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work moved through several visual languages — Symbolism, Neo-Impressionism, and Art Nouveau — while maintaining a highly personal style marked by decorative refinement, spirituality, and graphic intensity. He had a deep impact on Dutch art around 1900 through his portraits, symbolic compositions, and stylized landscapes.
