Hague School

At a time of rapid urbanisation and growing industrialisation the Hague School cherished the beauty of the unspoilt landscape with its meadows, polders, grazing cows and windmills. Painters like Paul Gabriël, Willem Roelofs, J.H. Weissenbruch and the Maris brothers went out in the open field to paint directly after nature (‘en plein air’), catching the ever changing play of light in rapid sketches. The artists of the Hague School worked in the polders near the villages of Nieuwkoop, Noorden and Kortenhoef, where they encountered the green pastures, canals, windmills and cloudy skies the favoured so much. Several Hague School artists worked on the Dutch coast, depicting the activities on the beach. The fishing village Scheveningen became an important source of inspiration to artists like B.J. Blommers, Jozef Israels, H.W. Mesdag, Jacob Maris and Philip Sadée.
