Dutch, 1619–1670
Jan Victors was a Dutch Dutch Golden Age painter. 23 works are cataloged here, principally at Statens Museum for Kunst, most of them oil paintings. Jan Victors was born in Amsterdam.
Jan Victors (or Fictor; 1619 – 1676) was a Dutch Golden Age painter mainly of history paintings of Biblical scenes, with some genre scenes. He may have been a pupil of Rembrandt. He probably died in the Dutch East Indies.
He was a conscientious member of the Calvinist Dutch Reformed Church, and for this reason he avoided creating art which depicts Christ, angels, or nudity.
