Jan van Lokhorst

Jan van Lokhorst was an artist and printmaker active during the mid-nineteenth century, documenting Dutch architectural and landscape subjects. His professional activity is verifiable within a narrow window, spanning the years 1847 to 1858.

Seven of Jan van Lokhorst’s prints are currently represented in established museum collections, solidifying his role in 19th-century Dutch graphic arts. His subjects typically focus on rural topography and recognizable local landmarks, often featuring watercourses, agricultural elements, and mills. Key works include the compositions Gezicht op een molen aan het water, Landschap met schaapherder, Landschap met sloten, and the specific urban view Wittevrouwenpoort te Utrecht.

The primary institutional holder of Lokhorst’s known output is the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, which preserves these museum-quality examples of historical printmaking. As the artist’s oeuvre is now in the public domain, high-quality prints and downloadable artwork derived from these plates are widely available for study.
