Background

Anton Mauve was born on September 18, 1838, in Zaandam, Netherlands.

Education

Mauve was apprenticed to the painter Pieter Frederik van Os followed by Wouter Verschuur.

Career

In his further development he worked with Paul Gabriël, painting from nature, and they regularly stayed and worked together at Oosterbeek.

Mauve settled at The Hague about 1870, painting in the neighbouring fishing village of Scheveningen. There he became part of a group of artists known as the Hague school, whose members specialized in representing landscapes and scenes of rural life in the Netherlands. In 1885 he went to live in the country at Laren, near Hilversum, where he brought together a group of landscape painters who came to be known as the "Dutch Barbizon. " Mauve’s pictures are subdued in colour and similar to those of Corot in their harmonies of grays and blues. His major pictures include Cows in Meadow and Dune Landscape. He was an accomplished watercolourist. His wife was a cousin of Vincent van Gogh, to whom Mauve gave advice about oil painting in 1881 and 1882.

Anthonij Rudolf Mauve died on February 5, 1888.
