“[a landscape painter cannot do with] being stupid-natural…. all that art would be [made] in vain if the feeling stayed away. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)”

Willem Roelofs (1822–1897) Dutch painter and entomologist (1822-1897)

(original Dutch: citaat van Willem Roelofs, in het Nederlands:) Het doel, het streven van de kunst, is als dat van de muziek, te ontroeren; in onze geest gewaarwordingen te doen ontstaan..
[een landschapschilder kan niet volstaan met] stom-natuurlijk te zijn.. ..al die kunst zou ijdel zijn, als het gevoel weg bleef.
2 short quotes of W. Roelofs in a letter to his pupil , 8 June 1886; as cited in Willem Roelofs 1822-1897. De adem der natuur, ed. M. van Heteren and R. te Rijdt; exposition catalog of Museum Jan Cunen, Oss / Kunsthal Rotterdam, 2006, p. 50

“Now I as a painter shall never stand for anything of importance. I feel it utterly... I sometimes regret I did not simply keep to the Dutch palette [of Dutch impressionism ] with its grey tones, and have brushed away at landscapes of Montmartre [in 1886-87] with no ado.”

Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890) Dutch post-Impressionist painter (1853-1890)

Quote in his letter to brother Theo, from Arles, France, 3 May 1889; as quoted in Vincent van Gogh, edited by Alfred H. Barr; Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1935 https://www.moma.org/documents/moma_catalogue_1996_300061887.pdf, (letter 590), p. 33

“There is still some study [to do] here for the Dutch landscape, and I believe the best I can do is to stay some time longer. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)”

Willem Roelofs (1822–1897) Dutch painter and entomologist (1822-1897)

(original Dutch: citaat van Willem Roelofs, in het Nederlands:) Er is hier voor het Hollandsch landschap nog al wat studie en ik geloof beste te doen nog maar wat te blijven.
Quote of Roelofs in his letter from Schiedam, Summer 1865; as cited in Zó Hollands - Het Hollandse landschap in de Nederlandse kunst sinds 1850, Antoon Erftemeijer https://www.franshalsmuseum.nl/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/zohollands_eindversie_def_1.pdf; Frans Hals museum | De Hallen, Haarlem 2011, p. 16

“In my opinion the aim of the painter is similar with that of the poet, insofar that both want to affect the feelings of the viewer or reader. As soon as their scenes.... are lacking the mark of nature, of truth, than both will fail to realize it. The Dutch painter feels - as well as the Germans do - the influence of sublime nature, but the Dutch painter first wants to be acquainted with 'plain truth', to combine it afterwards with the poetic..”

Barend Cornelis Koekkoek (1803–1862) painter from the Northern Netherlands

(original Dutch, citaat van B.C. Koekkoek:) Het doel van den schilder is, naar mijn wijze van zien, in zoverre met dat des dichters gelijk, dat beiden op het gevoel van den beschouwer of den lezer willen werken. Dit kunnen zij onmogelijk doen, zodra hunne taferelen.. ..den stempel der natuur, de waarheid missen.. .De Nederlandschee schilder gevoelt even goed als de Duitsche den invloed der verhevenen natuur, maar de Nederlander wil eerst met het 'eenvoudige ware' bekend zijn, om hetzelve later met dichterlijke te vereenigen..

“Ladislao de Gauss significantly marks the local scene both as a portraitist and as a landscape artist…”

“I certainly believe that the simple landscape which seems less impressive is the nature that is most proper to paint. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)”

Willem Roelofs (1822–1897) Dutch painter and entomologist (1822-1897)
