Hague School


Hague School

 

a school of Dutch realistic painting of the last third of the 19th century that formed around Jozef Israels after 1871. The Hague School creatively developed the traditions of 17th-century Dutch art and strove toward an emotional, lyrical perception of everyday life and toward a free, picturesque style of painting. The members of the school mainly produced genre paintings (Israels), landscapes (J. H. Weissenbruch, the Maris brothers, and H. W. Mesdag), and interiors (J. Bosboom).
