Wilhelmus Henricus Petrus Johannes (Willem) de Zwart (The Hague, 16 May 1862 - ibid., 11 December 1931) was a Dutch painter, draftsman, etcher, watercolourist and plate painter.
De Zwart studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague from 1876 to 1880. He lived and worked in The Hague until 1894. In 1883 he stayed temporarily in Paris. He lived in Soest until 1896, in Hilversum until 1898, in Laren until 1900, from 1900 to 1905 in Amsterdam and until 1917 in Veur. In 1917 he returned to The Hague, where he died in 1931. He also worked a lot in Scheveningen, Voorburg and Bloemendaal.
Willem de Zwart's work shows a wide range of subjects: landscapes, cityscapes, portraits and still lifes, rendered in a naturalistic-impressionistic style. He stood out within the Hague School through his exuberant use of colour. His work shows affinity with the people and city-oriented Amsterdam Impressionism.
He was also a member of the Nederlandsche Etsclub, Arti et Amicitiae and Pulchri Studio. He received several awards at international and national exhibitions. Museums where his work can be viewed include the Kunstmuseum Den Haag and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo.
