"Pradera de Holanda" (English: "Meadow in Holland") is a notable landscape painting by the Spanish-Belgian artist Carlos de Haes (1826–1898), who is recognized for his pivotal role in the development of Spanish landscape painting in the 19th century. De Haes, a professor at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, was instrumental in introducing the plein air painting technique to Spain, which he had absorbed from the Belgian and French schools.

The painting "Pradera de Holanda" is a reflection of De Haes's mastery in capturing the naturalistic details and atmospheric effects of the landscape, a hallmark of his mature work. Created during a period when De Haes traveled extensively through Europe to study and paint landscapes, this work exemplifies his commitment to realism and his skill in rendering the serene beauty of the Dutch countryside.

In "Pradera de Holanda," De Haes employs a subdued palette to convey the soft, diffused light typical of the lowlands, with meticulous attention to the textures of foliage and the reflective surfaces of water. The composition likely features a vast expanse of flat land, punctuated by waterways and dotted with windmills or farm structures, characteristic of the Dutch landscape. His brushwork, ranging from precise detailing to broader, impressionistic strokes, demonstrates his versatility and ability to evoke a sense of place and mood.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not specified, it is presumed to have been painted during the height of De Haes's career, when his works were regularly exhibited and highly praised for their technical proficiency and evocative power. "Pradera de Holanda" is considered an important work within Carlos de Haes's oeuvre, as it encapsulates the principles of direct observation and the plein air approach that he championed, influencing a generation of Spanish landscape artists.

The painting is also significant for its contribution to the cultural exchange between Spain and the rest of Europe during the 19th century, as it reflects the impact of European landscape traditions on Spanish art. Today, "Pradera de Holanda" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical importance in the evolution of landscape painting in Spain. The work is preserved in a prominent institution or collection, accessible to the public and scholars interested in the study of European landscape art and the works of Carlos de Haes.
