Jacob Maris and the Hague School
Maris, along with his brothers Matthijs and Willem, played a pivotal role in shifting Dutch art toward a more expressive, moody style. His ability to render "imposing cloudy skies" and the shimmering light of overcast days became his signature, earning him great success during his lifetime.
