Peter Janssen the Younger was born in Bonn in 1906 and died in Berlin in 1979. From 1923, he studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy under Heinrich Nauen and Johan Thorn Prikker, became a master student in 1926, and continued his studies at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris until 1928. Classified as a "Jewish Mischling", he was banned from his profession in 1935, lived abroad and illegally for a time, and was deported to a labor camp in 1944, from which he escaped in 1945. His work includes landscapes, cityscapes, still lifes, and portraits, as well as lithographs; from 1957 to 1971, he taught as a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts.
