Floris Arntzenius (1864–1925) was a prominent Dutch painter and a master of the The Hague School’s second generation, best known for his atmospheric depictions of urban life. His work is celebrated for capturing the essence of the streets of The Hague, particularly under the soft, grey light of misty or rainy days.
Arntzenius possessed a remarkable ability to render the reflections of horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians on wet cobblestones, blending the somber tones of his predecessors with the spontaneous brushwork of Amsterdam Impressionism.
Beyond his cityscapes, Arntzenius was a gifted watercolorist and portrait painter, but it is his “Spuistraat” scenes, filled with a sense of movement and poetic melancholy, that remain his most enduring contribution to Dutch art history.
