The Dutch in Paris 1789-1914
Paris! The City of Light has been an inspiration for centuries. Discover Paris through the eyes and hearts of eight Dutch artists in the exhibition 'The Dutch in Paris 1789鈥�1914. Van Spaendonck, Jongkind, Van Gogh, Van Dongen, Mondrian'.
In the 19th century, Paris truly beguiled artists from all over Europe. Large numbers of them left their native countries to go where the action was. Between 1789 and 1914, several hundred Dutch artists also travelled to the French capital. They included Van Spaendonck, Jongkind, Van Gogh, Van Dongen and Mondrian.
Not only did artists like Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso influence their work, the Dutch left their mark on French art too. For example, it was Jongkind who taught Monet, Boudin and Sisley how to capture light on the canvas. Dutch painters returning home from Paris influenced their fellow artists in the Netherlands. Breitner brought French impressionism back home, prompting Isaac Israels to paint ballerinas and nudes. These were subjects that had previously been quite unusual among Dutch artists. The exhibition The Dutch in Paris 1789-1914 is the first large-scale exhibition to illuminate this thrilling artistic interaction.
