Jan Mankes for sale
'Holland's most contemplative artist'
Jan Mankes for sale: our collection of drawings and paintings
Jan Mankes (1889-1920) painted his daily surroundings in Eerbeek in a very personal and attentive way. The sensitivity and vulnerability of his works have made him beloved, earning Mankes the title of 'Holland's most contemplative painter.' His oeuvre consists of only 200 paintings and about 50 prints. Most of his works are housed in Dutch museums, including Museum More in Gorssel, Museum Belvédère, and Museum Arnhem.
