Relatively little is known about the life and work of Joseph van Lil. The painter was born in Oisterwijk in 1826 and initially worked as a traditional (house) painter. At the age of 20 he moved to Antwerp, where he made a name for himself as a free artist from 1856. He probably worked mainly as a portrait painter.
