Toorop wrote: “This Dante is the first one I have drawn”, Toorop 1914.
This work by Jan Toorop was owned by Deurvorst's brother-in-law Anthony Nolet from Nijmegen and was auctioned in 1924 at the Fa. A. Mak in Amsterdam. On the back it was stated that this was his first Dante image drawn by him. Toorop donated a similar work to composer/conductor Willem Mengelberg. “For all the wonderful pleasure that has done my heart and mind so well, that you, Mengelberg, with your enormous gifts and great inspiration, managed to inspire the world and me personally in our hearts and our inner lives” The Mengelbergs thanked the painter for this gift, but they did hint that the gloomy Dante face in their living room caused a shock effect! In the same year he made several Dante figures, albeit in smaller format (chalk with charcoal) and often “en profile”, see images below.
Johannes Theodorus (Jan) Toorop, also: Jean Theodor Toorop, (Poerworedjo (Dutch East Indies), December 20, 1858 – The Hague, March 3, 1928) was one of the most important Dutch visual artists from the period 1880-1910. Initially he painted in an impressionist style, but through pointillism he developed into a symbolist painter.
The lithograph is signed in pencil.
