Kunstmuseum Den Haag has a treasure chamber of over 160.000 pieces of art. Here we work on making the highlights from this collection available online.
This second exhibition in the Hague School wing focuses on the work of Willem Mesdag. One of the best known artists of the Hague School, Mesdag specialised in seascapes and beach scenes and is especially famous for his panorama of the seaside resort of Scheveningen.
The exhibition comprises a number of major works on loan from Mesdag collector and connoisseur Johan Poort (www.mesdag.com). It is accompanied by the publication of two books by him: Hendrik Willem Mesdag, De schilder van de Noordzee and Hendrik Willem Mesdag, Oeuvrecatalogus in beeld.
