Georgius Jacobus Johannes van Os I (1782 - 1861)
Georgius Jacobus Johannes van Os I
Georgius Jacobus Johannes van Os was a 19th-century painter from the Northern Netherlands. He was a son and pupil of the painters Jan van Os and Susanna de la Croix, and a brother of the painters Pieter van Os and Maria Margaretha van Os. In 1809 he won the first prize of the Society Felix Meritis in Amsterdam for a still life in which genre he later specialized. In 1822 he moved to Paris, where he worked for the Sèvres porcelain factory. He painted landscapes, but was, like his father, best known as a painter of flowers. Starting in the 1830s he spent his summers in Haarlem, where he continued working on flower illustrations for the "Flora Batava" edited by Jan Kops. He is not to be confused with the son of his brother Pieter, also a painter called Georgius Jacobus Johannes van Os, but who lived from 1805-1841 and continued the family painting tradition.
