Many painted en plain air and showed the influences of french Realism in their works at the RhA’s Annual Exhibitions. Augustus burke showed 16 breton subject paintings at The RhA between 1876 and 1878. his scenes of breton daily life reflect the influence of the great french Social Realist artist, Jean-françois Millet (1814-1875), for example Millet’s paintings, The Angelus of 1857 (Musee d’Orsay, paris) and The gleaners, also of 1857 (Musee d’Orsay, paris). his breton figures are depicted with the same dignity, workers in the field carrying out their daily tasks.

The principal members were Josef Israels (1824-1911), Jacob Maris (1837-1879), Anton Mauve (1838-1888), and hendrik Mestag (1831-1915). Vincent Van gogh (1853-1890) was greatly influenced by The hague School, Anton Mauve being the only person to give him formal lessons in painting.
