J. van Horst
b. 1550
J. van Horst is a Northern Renaissance painter. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum, most of them oil paintings.
This Dutch painter made small oil portraits of women and girls from villages like Benningbroek and Heiloo, dressed in traditional country clothes around 1570. Each work captures a single figure in simple, earthy tones, like Girl from Goeree in country dress or Woman from Hensbroek in country dress. Their straightforward style feels like a quiet snapshot of everyday life in the late 1500s. Slide over to Woman from Heiloo in country dress to see another example up close.
