The Beauty of Female Anatomy

Jan van Rijn is the nom d’artiste of a large and growing oeuvre of drawings and graphics in his own distinctive style of eroticism, which have now been collected in more than half a dozen limited edition books, renewing and maintaining a long tradition of beautiful collectable volumes.

Van Rijn (hinting at the link with Rembrandt van Rijn, the greatest of all Dutch painters) grew up in the Netherlands, but is now based in southern Germany, as he says ‘backed up by my beautiful female companion and the mostly moderate use of the flavonoids, polyphenols and phytoalexins to be found in French red wine and some rieslings of the mid-Rhine valley’. As well as producing artworks in a variety of media including dry point etching, mezzotint, engraving and digital prints, he is also a stonemason and sculptor.

Fellow artist Kayla Freedman has written of his work, ‘Jan van Rijn has a very distinctive style, taking more standard erotic model poses and rendering them in an exaggerated and sexually corpulent fashion. There are no anorexic waifs – the bodies are fleshy and unashamedly sexual. His figures seem to revel in their exhibitionism and wantonness.
