Jan Eversen (1906 - 1995)

Jan Eversen

Jan Eversen, full name Johannes Hendrik Eversen, was a Dutch painter of the 20th century.

Eversen trained at the Heatherley School of Art in London and initially painted portraits, but later became fascinated by the beauty of still life subjects. He created carefully painted, detailed still lifes of various objects, utensils, foods, fruits and flowers in the style of the old Dutch masters of the 17th century.

Experts believe that Eversen is almost equal in technique to Rembrandt, Paulus Potter and Jan Steen. His works were very popular outside the Netherlands, for example, in Great Britain.
