caption_attribution_description: English: From a series of Vail Brothers photographs of Vassar College Professors, c. 1877.
context_page_description: Henry Van Ingen was a Dutch painter who for many years taught art at Vassar College in the United States.
context_section_description: Van Ingen was deeply influenced by The Hague School, a movement that emphasized traditional Dutch subjects such as interiors and landscapes. 
  These were the main themes of his work, but were adapted to the scenery of the Hudson River Valley.
  Some of his animal paintings such as Eagle (1873) and View of Washington’s Headquarters (1883) were entirely American in their themes.
  He used a wide array of colors and strong, perhaps impressionistic, brushstrokes.
  He was described by one of his students as a "burly Dutchman reared within sound of Antwerp chimes - [He] has a homely, kindly face and very approachable manners, but stands no nonsense".
