Landscape and Labor

Although Vincent van Gogh is today perhaps the most famous Dutch artist of all, in his own time he was relatively little known, especially when compared to artists of the Hague School. This group, named for the city where many of its members trained and worked, was comprised of those who had different styles but shared a devotion to the depiction of everyday life, looking to the Dutch countryside for their subjects and themes. 

Visitors can see watercolors, prints, and drawings by artists such as Weissenbruch and Anton Mauve. Though they are not now household names in the United States, these figures had a profound impact on the artists of their time and future generations. Mauve, in particular, played a key role in Van Gogh’s early life and career. Van Gogh himself is also represented here, with two early works.

The exhibition runs from December 21, 2024 – June 22, 2025 at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02115.
