## About Jan Cox

Jan Cox (1919–1980) was a Dutch-Belgian painter born in The Hague. Public authority records identify him as a painter, while the collected biographical summaries place substantial parts of his creative life in the United States and Belgium. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings and in connection with public art, including a documented work titled The Fall of Troy at the Herrmann-Debroux metro station in Brussels. The available evidence does not establish a specific movement affiliation or a comprehensive list of recurring subjects, so those classifications should remain open. Stable records at Wikidata, Getty ULAN, MoMA, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and RKD help distinguish this artist from other people named Jan Cox. Dates, signatures, documented ownership, and correspondence with securely identified works remain important when connecting an object to his recorded oeuvre.

## Common works and media

The collected evidence supports painting as Jan Cox’s primary documented medium. It also identifies The Fall of Troy as a public artwork associated with the artist at Brussels’ Herrmann-Debroux metro station, providing evidence of engagement with a classical subject. The source pack does not establish a reliable inventory of other media, editions, formats, or recurring themes, so objects offered as prints, drawings, sculptures, or other categories require separate documentary verification.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily’s public artist page associates Jan Cox with a body of auction-price records, but the collected source pack does not provide individual lot descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, or a major-auction-house market analysis. An appraisal should therefore begin with secure artist identification and then compare the object with relevant public sales when detailed records are available. Work type, date, dimensions, attribution wording, condition, provenance, and the timing and location of comparable sales may help explain differences between records, but this source pack does not support a price forecast or market-trend claim. Results for other people named Jan Cox should be excluded from the comparison set.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile distinguishes verified identity evidence from market details that still require lot-level confirmation.
