Jan Chalon

Jan Chalon was a graphic artist documented as active in 1748. His professional output primarily consists of prints, establishing him within the mid-eighteenth-century tradition of European printmaking.

The artist’s verifiable corpus is preserved in major institutional holdings. Fifteen Jan Chalon prints are represented in museum collections, including important examples held by the Rijksmuseum. The presence of his work in such established collections confirms his status as a documented figure in art history.

Chalon’s known works often focus on portraiture and scenes of everyday life or studio activity. Key documented prints include the character studies Bebaarde oude man and Lachende man, alongside genre pieces such as Interieur van een prentatelier. Today, these historically significant works are often digitized, making high-quality prints accessible as downloadable artwork through the public domain.
