The Hague, between elegance, sea, and northern light
A city of art and diplomacy, The Hague embodies Dutch refinement in all its forms. Bordered by the North Sea and dotted with parks and palaces, it combines historical grandeur with maritime serenity. Since the 17th century, this peaceful city has inspired many artists captivated by its gentle light, changing skies, and vast beaches bathed in silvery reflections.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to The Hague, as it has been depicted by Johan Barthold Jongkind, Hendrik Willem Mesdag, Jacob Maris, Willem Roelofs, Anton Mauve, and also Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch. These artists, major figures of the The Hague School, captured the tranquil beauty of Dutch landscapes and the poetry of northern light.
The Hague in your decor: softness and harmony
Hanging an art print of The Hague invites the natural elegance of the Netherlands and the serenity of its shores into your interior. The art prints of The Hague celebrate coastal light, subtle sky nuances, and the calming tones of the sea and dunes.
These works blend beautifully into Scandinavian, minimalist, or classic decor, thanks to their balance and luminous palette.
A view of Scheveningen beach painted by Mesdag, a marine scene by Jongkind, or a misty landscape by Weissenbruch bring a soft, contemplative, and refined atmosphere to your walls.
The Hague, in painting, symbolizes harmony between nature, light, and daily life — an aesthetic of calm and truth.
The masters of the Hague School
Johan Barthold Jongkind (1819–1891) was a precursor of Impressionism; he inspired Monet with his marine scenes and luminous skies painted from the Dutch coast.
Hendrik Willem Mesdag (1831–1915) created the famous Mesdag Panorama, a monumental fresco depicting the beaches of Scheveningen: a masterpiece of realism and light.
Jacob Maris, Anton Mauve, and Willem Roelofs were part of the group called “The Hague School,” which favored soft tones, misty landscapes, and sincere depictions of rural and maritime life.
Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch, master of diffuse light, delicately painted the plains, windmills, and endless skies of Holland.
Together, they established The Hague’s central role in the history of 19th-century European painting.
