Larensche School

Larensche School

The Larensche School is the collective name for a group of artists who worked in and around the village of Laren in North Holland at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. It originated from the Hague School, with which they showed a lot of stylistic affinity. In 1903, under the impulse of Auguste Legras, a structured Gooi painters' association, De Tien, was created. The Association of Visual Artists Laren-Blaricum was founded in 1921 by Breman, but due to the mild admission requirements, the Gooische Schildersvereniging under the leadership of Schulman split off in 1935. Laren painters mainly worked in nature and had a traditional style.
