About "The Jan-van- Ghent"

by Stephan Scheffer

About the artwork

The name of this bird has nothing to do with the name of the person Jan van Gent. The word gent is explainable because both the English gander and the Dutch gent can be recognized for a male water bird like a goose. The English name became gannet. How "jan van" came to be remains uncertain. It is possibly a corruption of the Celtic name Ian ban an sgadan (white herring). It may also have something to do with the Dutch habit of including the name Jan in expressions such as "Jan en alleman", "Jan Hen", "Jan Salie" etc.
It is a large, streamlined bird with long, narrow wings. The adults are easily recognized by size, color and markings. Young birds may look like Great Shearwaters at first sight, but can be recognized by their long, pointed head and beak, pointed tail and characteristic movements. The plumage of the adult bird is only acquired in the fourth to sixth year. The yellow ochre head is paler outside the breeding season. Adults measure around 89-102 centimetres.
