Willem Roelofs
Kingdom of the Netherlands, 1822–1897
Willem Roelofs was a Kingdom of the Netherlands Impressionism painter. 13 works are cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum, most of them oil paintings. Willem Roelofs was born in Amsterdam.
Willem Roelofs (10 March 1822 – 12 May 1897) was a Dutch painter, water-colourist, etcher, lithographer and draughtsman. Roelofs was one of the forerunners of the Dutch Revival art, after the Romantic Classicism of the beginning of the 19th century, which led to the formation of The Hague school. His landscapes, especially the early ones with their dominating cloudy skies, demure bodies of water and populated with cattle, are typical for the School of Barbizon.
