Anton Mauve
1838–1888

Anthonij "Anton" Rudolf Mauve (Dutch pronunciation: °Úˈɑ²Ô³ÙÉ”²Ô ˈ³¾ÊŒ³Ü±¹É™±Õ; 18 September 1838 – 5 February 1888) was a Dutch realist painter who was a leading member of the Hague School. He signed his paintings 'A. Mauve' or with a monogrammed 'A.M.'. A master colorist, he was a very significant early influence on his cousin-in-law Vincent van Gogh.
His best-known paintings depict peasants working in the fields. His paintings of flocks of sheep were especially popular with American patrons, so popular that a price differential developed between scenes of "sheep coming" and "sheep going".
