Jan Soukens
Dutch, d. 1725
Jan Soukens was a Dutch Rococo painting artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Bavarian State Painting Collections. Jan Soukens was born in Zaltbommel.
Jan Soukens painted quiet Dutch interiors around the year 1700. Look at “Kitchen Still Life with a Dutch Oven” and “Still Life with a Ham and Bread” for shelves of everyday objects bathed in soft light. These small scenes belong to the same calm tradition as Vermeer’s rooms—just with more cheese and copper pans. Tap into the corner of the painting to step inside a Dutch home of the late 1600s.
