Peintres hollandais modernes
Peintres hollandais modernes is a late nineteenth-century Dutch art book by Ph. Zilcken, published in Amsterdam in 1893 by J.M. Schalekamp, surveying the painters of the Hague School for an art-literate audience. The plates are reproductions of etchings and drawings, several printed sideways on the page, showing atmospheric views of figures, boats, and interiors in soft grey tones. A designer might take from them the loose, tonal sketch manner of the period, with broad wash areas, scratchy line, and quiet grey palettes.
