David Adolph Constant Artz (1837-1890)
Artz was the best known follower of Josef Israels who was himself the most important member of the Hague School. This was a group of painters in the 1870s who came to embrace as their subject matter the native Dutch landscape and the everyday lives of its rural inhabitants, most notably the fisher folk of the coastal villages. Within a few years the Hague School artists’ works would prove incredibly popular throughout the world, perhaps because of the simpleness of their subjects in a time of modernity and turmoil. Artz himself was both born and died in the Hague.
