In the life of Jan van Goyen

The whole life

  1. 1630s

    The last known victim of the tulip mania

    Van Goyen’s pictures rarely fetched high prices, so he sought other income: he worked as an art dealer and auctioneer and speculated in tulips and real estate, becoming the last known victim of the tulip mania of the 1630s. Real estate, usually a safe investment, left him with enormous debts; one of his houses was rented by Paulus Potter.

  2. 1635–1656 · Workplace

    The Hague

  3. 1638

    Heads the Guild of St Luke in The Hague

    In 1638, four years after becoming a citizen, van Goyen became head of the Guild of St Luke in The Hague.
