Dutch Winters, Rijksmuseum Schiphol. 21 December, 2011 – 26 March, 2012
Should you find yourself leaving Amsterdam without paying a visit to Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, one of the city's leading museums, do not despair - you have one last chance to do it at the airport. The Rijksmuseum subsidiary housed at Amsterdam Schiphol is a unique project, as yet unparalleled anywhere in the world. Admission to the museum is free and it is open from seven in the morning to quite late in the evening, closing its doors at 8 pm.
From 21 December 2011, the museum is presenting a romantic show dedicated to winter, exploring the harsh and yet abundantly atmospheric image of winter as featured in the 19th-century Dutch landscape painting. The eight works on view illustrate the development of the genre through the years. The exhibition opens with the idyllic pieces permeated by love of nature created in the first half of the 19th century, during the heyday of Romantic painting. The landscapes dating from around 1870 demonstrate the upsurge of tonal painting. Realistic depiction of nature and attempt to capture the mood of the moment are typical of representatives of the Hague School. The landscapes created in the late 1880s show the innovative influence of Impressionism on the art scene of the time.
