Dutch School

The lead prominently features the claim that His work was founded on the style of John Crome, also of the Norwich School, and the Dutch School of landscape painting. Dutch School is a redirect to Dutch art. To my knowledge, there is no such thing as the Dutch School. Vincent may have been influenced by some Dutch landscape painters, but it is unclear which ones. The career section then goes into a little more depth, and refers to Dutch Golden Age painting as an influence, but the Influences, reputation and legacy section doesn't mention a Dutch painter. It seems likely that Vincent was familiar the work of Meindert Hobbema, a favourite of John Crome. Other likely candidates are Aelbert Cuyp and Jacob van Ruisdael. Do any sources discuss this at all? There are sources discuss Crome's Dutch influences, but I haven't found much that relates to Vincent directly. Vexations (talk) 21:07, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Vexations: Just spotted this, apologies for not responding. I'll take another look at the sources I have access to, and amend the text accordingly.

– The painter is the primary topic and has the most long term significance. The painter also gets more monthly page views than the others combined. https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2015-07&end=2021-10&pages=George_Vincent%7CGeorge_Vincent_(painter)%7CGeorge_Vincent_(MP)%7CGeorge_Edgar_Vincent%7CGeorge_R._Vincent%7CGeorge_Robert_Vincent%7CGeorge_Frederick_Vincent Sahaib3005 (talk) 22:02, 5 November 2021 (UTC) — Relisting.

Mild Oppose He only "gets more monthly page views than the others combined" because he got 47K when on the main page as the FA of the day. Otherwise there are often days when the orange guy (in particular) gets more views. Let's face it, these are 5 pretty obscure men, & I think the current situation is fine.
