Did you know? Floris Verster is considered an important figure in the transition from the Hague School to more modern movements in Dutch art. While his early work was influenced by the Hague School's realistic style, he later developed a more personal and expressive style, incorporating elements of Impressionism and Symbolism. He was particularly known for his still lifes and landscapes, but his animal paintings, such as this portrait of a young elephant, demonstrate his versatility and skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. He was also a significant influence on Piet Mondrian during his formative years.
