Interaction of light, shadow and nuances in colour is characteristic of the works of art by Johannes Bosboom (1817-1891). Bosboom is one of the most important Dutch artists of the 19th century and together with Israels, Mesdag, Mauve, Weissenbruch and Maris they formed the famous "Hague School". His lasting search looking for the right pictorial expression of his objects leaded him from a romantic-realism to the impressionism. Besides the church interior, his specialty, Bosboom chose townviews, countrylife, landscapes, beach- and seascapes, synagogues and monastic life as his topics. All these genres are treated in detail in this important monograph.
