Some Highlights of Mondriaanhuis Museum Amersfoort

Isolated Tree on the Gein (oil sketch, 1906–07)
Isolated Tree on the Gein (1906–07) is an expressive oil sketch by Piet Mondrian capturing a solitary tree along the Gein River. Painted during his transition from realism to abstraction, the work reflects his deep connection to nature, emphasizing structure and form over detail.

Raised Bridge in a Meadow" (1903)
"Raised Bridge in a Meadow" (1903) by Piet Mondrian is a serene, naturalistic landscape that captures a quiet rural scene. Painted early in Mondrian’s career, the work depicts a small raised drawbridge spanning a calm waterway, surrounded by lush green meadows under a soft, cloudy sky. The brushwork is delicate and detailed, with careful attention to light and reflection on the water. This painting reflects Mondrian's early interest in Dutch landscape traditions, showcasing his mastery of realism before his evolution into abstraction and geometric modernism.

Farmstead (oil on canvas, 1905)
"Farmstead" (1905) by Piet Mondrian is a tranquil rural scene rendered in a naturalistic style. The painting shows a traditional Dutch farmhouse nestled among trees, with a thatched roof and earthy tones that harmonize with the surrounding landscape. Mondrian’s careful use of light and shadow gives depth to the composition, while the soft, muted palette evokes a calm, pastoral atmosphere. Created before his move toward abstraction, this work highlights his strong foundation in representational art and his sensitivity to the quiet beauty of the Dutch countryside.
