Anton Mauve was a nineteenth-century Dutch Realist artist and a leading member of the Hague School in the Netherlands. He was known for his paintings of rural and animal subjects most akin to the Barbizon Period. Mauve was an early influence on Van Gogh who worked in Mauve’s studio for a few years; he was also married to Van Gogh’s cousin Ariëtte Carbentus (1856-1894).
