Jan Looten
Jan Looten (1617/18 in Amsterdam – c. 1681 in United Kingdom[1][2]) was a Dutch landscape painter. He was one of several Dutch painters who settled in London in the 1640s. Samuel Pepys reportedly visited his studio in 1669 and was "unimpressed" with his work and was recommended to Simon Verelst, who he saw more favourably.[3]
