Jan Harm Weijns is seen as a typical Rotterdam impressionist, painter par excellence of the streets and courtyards in the oldest parts of the city. He also painted landscapes, in the Netherlands as well as in Switzerland and Italy, but felt most attracted to the landscape and the canals and ditches around Rotterdam. A few portraits of him are also known. Weijns was a teacher at the Tekenacademy in Rotterdam, which later became the Willem de Kooning Academy.
