Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MAUVE, ANTON (18381888) , Dutch landscape painter, was born at Zaandam, the son of a Baptist minister. Much against the wish of his parents he took up the study of art and entered the studio of Van Os, whose dry academic manner had, however, but little attraction for him. He benefited far more by his intimacy with his friends Jozef Israels and W. Maris. Encouraged by their example he abandoned his early tight and highly finished manner for a freer, looser method of
painting
 , and the brilliant palette of his youthful
work
  for a tender lyric harmony which is generally restricted to delicate greys, greens, and light blue. He excelled in rendering the soft hazy atmosphere that lingers over the green meadows of Holland, and devoted himself almost exclusively to depicting the peaceful rural
life
  of the
fields
  and country lanes of Hollandespecially of the districts near Oosterbeek and Wolfhezen, the sand dunes of the
coast
  at Scheveningen, and the country near Laren, where he spent the last years of his
life
 . A little sad and melancholy, his
pastoral
  scenes are nevertheless conceived in a peaceful soothing lyrical
mood
 , which is in marked contrast to the epic power and almost tragic intensity of J. F. Millet. There are fourteen of Mauve's pictures at the Mesdag Museum at the Hague, and two (" Milking Time " and " A Fishing Boat putting to Sea ") at the Ryks Museum in
Amsterdam
 . The Glasgow
Corporation
  Gallery owns his
painting
  of " A Flock of Sheep." The finest and most representative private collection of pictures by Mauve was made by Mr J. C. J. Drucker, London.
