From 3 October, Museum Panorama Mesdag in The Hague, The Netherlands, will present the first major retrospective devoted to the Norwegian-Dutch artist Betzy Akersloot-Berg (1850–1922).
With over 80 paintings, drawings, etchings, photographs and objects, Betzy Akersloot-Berg. One of a kind will offer a comprehensive overview of the life and work of one of Europe’s most important female seascape and landscape painters. Museum Panorama Mesdag has secured a number of exceptional loans for the exhibition from national and international museums, including Museum Tromp’s Huys (Vlieland), the Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum and Perspektivet Museum (Norway) and the Nationalmuseum (Sweden).
