At a young age he painted in the Amsterdam area, where he met the painters Harry Kuijten and Dirk Filarski, who then took the young Lambeck under their wing. However, it was not until 1939 that he and his wife finally left the north and settled in Hilversum. Not surprisingly, given his teachers, he developed his own interpretation of the Bergen School: landscapes with a firm touch and painted in a colorful palette. Unfortunately, only a single painting of these early works survived the war unscathed. After the war, the modest and publicity-shy Lambeck continued to work steadily on his oeuvre. From the early 1950s he regularly crossed borders. Spain, Switzerland and France were preferred. His hilly landscapes are occasionally influenced by Cezann stylization, while other works evoke memories of the work of the Groninger Ploeg. The diversity of his subjects also increased, as the portraits and paintings of working figures, created in the 1970s, show. Jan Lambeck died in 1984 and all this time his work remained more or less unnoticed in the circle of family and friends. This lasted until the year 2000, when Museum De Wieger in Deurne decided to organize an exhibition of his work, thus saving Jan Lambeck's work from oblivion.
