Trailer: Clouds and Light: Impressionism in Holland

Landscape painting originated in Holland, and the realism of the seventeenth-century Old Masters long set the standard. With the development of pleinair painting in France, nineteenth-century Dutch artists found new inspiration. The exhibition showed from July 8 to October 22, 2023, how artists were inspired by French influences to create their very own Dutch form of Impressionism.

The exhibition Clouds and Light: Impressionism in Holland brought together around a hundred works by some forty artists including Johan Barthold Jongkind, Vincent van Gogh, Jacoba van Heemskerck, and Piet Mondrian. Lenders included 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. 

An exhibition of the Museum Barberini, Potsdam, in cooperation with the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Under the patronage of the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Germany, His Excellency Ronald van Roeden.
