Anton Rudolf Mauve was a Dutch realist painter born in 1838. Mauve was one of most prominent leaders of The Hague School of painting and is now remembered for his masterful paintings and influence on the early work of his cousin-by-law, Vincent van Gogh.

Mauve was born in the provincial town of Zaandam in North Holland, but moved to Haarlem shortly after his birth. The picturesque landscape of North Holland greatly influenced the subject matter of Mauve’s paintings.

In 1886 Mauve moved to the Laren, where he helped to found the Laren School with his partners Jozef Israels and Albert Nehuys. Mauve initially studied in the studio of Van Os, an academic and traditional painter. Mauve eventually strayed from Os’s painting methods and began using looser brushwork and a more intense and brilliant palette.

Mauve’s paintings almost always depict harmonious, rural landscapes. Common scenes include the meadows and country roads of the Oosterbeek and Wolfhezen districts as well as the coast of Scheveningen in Holland.

Mauve’s landscapes usually include people and animals, often peasants working the land or herding sheep or cattle. While Mauve lived in many regions of Holland, he spent the last years of his live in the countryside near Laren and Arnhem.

When Van Gogh was just beginning to paint he worked under Mauve. Their working relationship ended as Mauve insisted that Van Gogh paint in a more realistic and traditional manner. Though Van Gogh eventually developed his own unique style, Mauve is remembered for influencing Van Gogh’s early work.

Anton Mauve’s paintings are now in private collections around the world as well as in major museums in London, Amsterdam, New York, Boston and San Francisco. Do you think you own a painting by the Dutch master, Anton Mauve? Contact us. We are the experts on Anton Mauve.
