Jan Victors or Jan Factor ( , Amsterdam – C 1676-1677, Dutch East Indies) [ first ] is a Dutch painter from the golden century. He is known for his paintings of portraits, biblical scenes and genre scenes.

Jan Victors was born in 1619 in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

It is cited in a Haarlem tax register in 1722 as a pupil of the painter Rembrandt van Rijn. Table Young girl at the window With the finesse of the line and the expressive style of the character, shows the influence of Rembrandt on Jan Victors. Like many painters, after the disastrous year of 1672 or Rampjaar, and the crisis that followed, he is forced to combine several jobs such as Infirmier and pastor to the Dutch company of East India in 1676.

He died just after his arrival in Indonesia in 1676.

  • Young woman supported by two men: dying lucrèce [ 9 ] , Copy, feather, brown ink, pencil traces, H. 66; L. 155 mm. There is a second copy of this sketch, which is considered to be the original (private collection), the presence of an underlying drawing on the sheet of the School of Fine Arts designating it as a copy. The original is compared to a painting kept in Detroit, Lucret’s death, also awarded to Victors [ ten ] .
  • Woman kneeling with open arms [ 11 ] , Entourage of Jan Victors (?), Plume, brown ink, H. 99; L. 101 mm. This sheet recalls the rebellious style of the 1630s, but has too many weaknesses to be allocated to it (Lugt fries). We find this type of workshop exercise under multiple variants and throughout the years, in the work of Rembrandt students. Certain elements present on the two sides of the leaf can be compared with drawings today attributed to Jan Victors whose presence in Rembrandt’s workshop is located between 1635 and 1639. We observe stylistic resemblances to his drawings Aman imploring the forgiveness of Esther in Brêmes and Isaac blessing Jacob of a private Italian collection [ twelfth ] .
