A Life in Belgian Paint

Frans Simons, known also by his names Jan Frans Simons or Frans Jan Simons, lived through a period of significant change in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

His life ended in 1919, leaving behind a body of work that continues to appear in auction houses like Christie's Amsterdam.

The records of his career show a steady presence in the art market. While much of his personal daily life remains private, his hand is visible in pieces that focus on light and reflection.
