Han Grovers artwork • painting • previously for sale Landscape with bulb fields and a mill

Han Grovers belongs to the group of Dutch landscape painters for whom the flowering bulb fields were a popular subject. These colourful spring landscapes behind the dunes were actually only 'discovered' by our painters at the end of the 19th century. Before that, they mainly focused on Dutch polder landscapes, heathland and meadows with cows. Around 1880, it was the American and French Impressionists who first saw the beauty of the colourful fields of blooming tulips, hyacinths and daffodils. The Dutch painters followed, and continue the tradition to this day.
