Pieter Janson

Pieter Janson was a printmaker documented as active circa 1780. His artistic output centers almost entirely on the creation of prints, focusing heavily on pastoral subjects, rural scenery, and animal studies typical of late eighteenth-century Dutch graphic arts.

Janson’s works are represented in prominent international collections, notably the Rijksmuseum. A total of fifteen known prints are held in museum collections, establishing his presence within the period’s artistic documentation. The historical significance of these museum-quality works is evident in their detailed depiction of landscapes and farm life.

Specific titles preserved include the landscape Bosrijk landschap met kronkelende weg, the observational study Drie boeren voor boerderij, and detailed animal studies such as Bokkenkop and Geitenkop naar links. Other notable works include Boslandschap met zes koeien. As historical documentation, these Pieter Janson prints are often included in the public domain, making them available for research and study.
