Most of Richard Roland Holst's work was small, but he also painted murals for the Beurs van Berlage and the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in The Hague. He made woodcuts and posters, and he illustrated the books of his wife, the poet Henriette van der Schalk. The couple were socialists and close friends of the writer Herman Gorter. Holst followed the ideas of William Morris and saw art as a service to the community. Born in Amsterdam in 1868, he studied at the Rijksakademie there and was its director from 1926.
