Hubertus (Huib) van Hove (1814 - 1865)

Hubertus (Huib) van Hove

Hubertus (Huib) van Hove was a Dutch painter, son of Bartholomeus van Hove and teacher of some of the painters who later became members of the Hague School.

Hubertus van Hove began as a landscape painter, but his best works belong to other genres. Van Hove's love of colour and bright light was evident in his domestic scenes in the style of Pieter de Hoch, depicting street views viewed through the door of a room or kitchen. The Teyler Museum holds a superb example of his work The Knitter, a painting with a lively composition and a brighter and fresher colouring.
