The new exhibition "Clouds and Light. Impressionism in Holland" at the Museum Barberini presents from 8 July to 22 October 2023 around 100 works by around forty Dutch artists, including Johan Barthold Jongkind, Vincent van Gogh, Jacoba van Heemskerck and Piet Mondrian.
Landscape painting originated in the Netherlands. The realism of the Old Masters of the 17th century was the standard. With the open-air painting developed in France, the Dutch painters of the 19th century received new impulses.
The Hague School captured the changing light moods of nature in high cloudy skies with many shades of gray.
Beginning in the 1880s, urban landscapes and modern life became a theme in interplay with Impressionist influences from France, before the unleashing of color defined painting with Pointillism.
Lenders include the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Kunstmuseum Den Haag, the Dordrechts Museum, the Kröller Müller Museum in Otterlo, and the Singer Museum in Laren.
