About the Exhibition:
The Hague School denotes a group of artists that lived and worked in The Hague, Netherlands, during the 1870s and 1880s. This vibrant city and its picturesque surroundings provided the venues and subjects for the artists’ paintings, including the Dutch countryside and the North Sea, along with their striking atmospheric effects. As Holland stood on the brink of a new century, these influential artists heralded a new golden age of Dutch painting. Amassed over a twenty-year period, and presented publicly for the first time, the Robbins Collection conveys the undeniable impact of the Hague School on Dutch painting.
