Clouds and Light: Impressionism in Holland

Dutch Golden Age artists were pioneers of landscape painting, but their late 19th-century successors seemed more taken with France. Bringing together over 100 works by the painters of the Hague School, this exhibition at the Museum Barberini in Potsdam considers how Dutch artists of the period developed their own form of Impressionism (8 July–22 October). Atmospheric industrial scenes are captured in works such as View of Three Mills (1890) by Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch, while George Hendrik Breitner’s The Singel Bridge in the Paleisstraat in Amsterdam (1898) depicts the hubbub of city life. Elsewhere, later works such as Autumn Tree (1911) by Leo Gestel and Little House in Sunlight (1909–10) by Piet Mondrian take their cue from pointillism.
