Jan Goeree
Jan Goeree was an artist active during the late seventeenth century, specifically documented between 1670 and 1690. The surviving body of work represented in major institutional collections consists primarily of works on paper, including eight drawings and seven prints. These works demonstrate a technical facility across diverse subject matter, ranging from classical mythology to detailed topographical views.
Notable documented works include the classical scene Perseus and Minerva before a Temple and the historical portrait study Geta of Antoninus. Goeree also produced detailed architectural renderings and cityscapes, exemplified by the plate Beurs van Hendrik de Keyser te Amsterdam and the series Gezichten op het Huiszittenweduwenhof (Kartuizerhof) van Amsterdam. The work Charitas en Fides (?) voor een omlijsting further highlights the artist’s engagement with allegory and compositional framing devices.
Jan Goeree’s work is held in the collections of prestigious international institutions, including the Rijksmuseum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. The presence of these works across major collections establishes their significance as museum-quality documents of the period. Since many of these historical pieces are now in the public domain, high-quality prints and downloadable artwork are often available for scholarly research and appreciation, ensuring continued access to Jan Goeree prints.
