Johannes Hubertus Petrus Josephus (Jean) den Rooijen (2 January 1866 – 12 February 1939) was a Dutch glazier.[1]
Life and work
Den Rooijen and his younger brother Piet (1867–1913) learned the trade as glass painters at the Roermond atelier F. Nicolas en Zonen [nl]. In 1895 Den Rooijen, assisted by his brother, started his own studio. It was known as gebrs. Den Rooijen. Piet had to stop working in 1908 due to illness and died a few years later. Jean continued the business alone. Work was done in a traditional, mostly neo-Gothic style. In addition to own designs, work was carried out for Joan Collette [nl], Frans Cox [nl] and Huib Luns, among others.[2]
Jean den Rooijen died in 1939, at the age of 73. The studio was continued by his widow, until she sold it to JHM Wielders in 1951.
