Paul J.C. Gabriël, Mill by a polderchannel, 1887-1888, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
 

The Hague School and the modern Dutch Landscape
12 September to 6 December 2009

With over thirty historic photographs and an exquisite selection of The Hague School paintings from the collections of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and the Neue Pinakothek Munich, Kunsthal Rotterdam casts a surprising glance at the landscape painting and photography of the nineteenth century.

Dutch Landscape by Mauve, Maris and Israëls

The expositions shows that railways, channels and bridges changed the flat and open Dutch landscape with its famous cloudy skies and mills by the end of the nineteenth century. Painters belonging to The Hague School like Anton Mauve, the Maris brothers and Jozef Israëls captured the rapidly changing landscape in a realistic manner and with great sense of use of light and atmosphere.
