1. Albert Neuhuys Marker
De kennismaking met Jacob Maris' kunst was voor Albert Neuhuys een openbaring. Hij verhuisde naar Den Haag en werd een gevierd schilder, bekend om zijn schilderijen van verliefde paartjes in Scheveningen. Hij behaalde groot succes met Vissersvrijage, aangekocht door het Rijksmuseum. In navolging van Jozef Israλls ontdekte Neuhuys het dorp Laren. Hier ontstond het genre waarmee hij bekend is geworden: Larense binnenhuizen met moeder en kroost. Vooral in Engeland en Amerika waren zijn werken populair. Vanaf 1900 woonde Neuhuys aan de Sarphatikade in Amsterdam. Na zijn plotselinge overlijden eerde kunstenaarsvereniging Arti et Amicitiae hem met een grote goedbezochte herdenkingstentoonstelling.
The introduction to Jacob Maris' art was a revelation for Albert Neuhuys. He moved to The Hague and became a celebrated painter, known for his paintings of couples in love in Scheveningen. He achieved great success with Vissersvrijage (The Fisherman's Fancy), purchased by the Rijksmuseum. Following Jozef Israλls, Neuhuys discovered the village of Laren. This is where the genre for which he became famous originated: Laren interiors with mother and offspring. His works were particularly popular in England and America. From 1900, Neuhuys lived on the Sarphatikade in Amsterdam. After his sudden death, the artists' association Arti et Amicitiae honoured him with a large, well-attended memorial exhibition.
