(Translated by Google Translate)

The late 19th century, there was a painter who put his base of operations in The Hague in the Netherlands.

Painters of the Hague School, was under the influence of the Barbizon School of France. In the first room, a picture of the Barbizon School painters were exhibited. Corot, Theodore Rousseau, and Millet.

Jongkind was born in the Netherlands, but he drew a piece with the Barbizon School painters in France. Painter connecting the Hague School and the Barbizon School.

So far, was a painter that has not to much attention, but this day, I've watched intently the work of three of the Jongkind. The impression received from the works of Vermeer, a little piece of view, of Delft, give the impression of this town slightly different.

Watermill bridge over of Courbet, Lou river headwaters. Courbet, not the Barbizon School, but the painting that depicts the harshness of nature figure itself, also affected the Hague school.

Subsequently, the landscape of rural and seaside, the figure of farmers, work of The Hague school is exhibition is divided into the corner of the room, such as painting.

Not only the Netherlands, is Vaisenburufu, landscape painter to represent the 19 century. And the Great Plains of the Netherlands, spread on it, blue sky and white clouds. Exactly, that everyone visualize, landscape in the Netherlands, has spread in the canvas.

Each created a painting world of its own, three brothers Maris, have made it a colorful world of the Hague School.

The Josef Israels, works of figure painting in many cases. Impressive work is said that a young woman, that sewing is the Rembrandt of the second, is the delicate expression.

Rather than in the work of the other depicting the fisherman, and Rembrandt, is reminiscent of the figures painted by Millet, to such people, warm gaze, is expressed in the work.

In the last corner, works of Mondrian and Van Gogh were lined. Both of them are strongly affected by the Hague school.

The work of Van Gogh, sober work depicting the farmer the initial number, there is there the figure of Van Gogh that is different from the image that has been embraced in general.

Work of Mondrian, and windmill, the twilight's landscape but the line representing the trees reflection in the pond, which implies strongly, an abstract representation of the late already. Among the exhibition, most impressive, it was the work that remains in my mind.
