Out and About with the Hague School
Hague School paintings are full of the traditional beauties of Holland: grazing cattle, windmills and billowing white clouds. Weissenbruch, Mesdag, Gabriël, Mauve and other Hague School painters went out into the surrounding countryside and immortalised it in pictures that so captured the public imagination that their iconic images still determine the way we think of the Netherlands today. ‘Beautiful Holland’ is a major exhibition, featuring over a hundred superb paintings and examining the significance of the Dutch landscape and the changes that have occurred in it.
