The Dutch painter and graphic artist Jozef Israëls is one of the most important artists of the Hague School. He was born in Groningen in 1824 and died in The Hague in 1911. At the age of 18 the young man and aspiring artist moved to Amsterdam, where he studied with Jan Adam Kruseman and Johann Willem Pieneman. He also spent several years in Paris between 1845 and 1847. Here he learned how to create romantic history paintings, mainly in the studio of François-Édouard Picot. The Belgian Louis Gallait and French-born Dutchman Ary Scheffer also introduced Israel to the Romantic style that would accompany him throughout his life.
Israëls began, when he was back in The Hague, to portray ordinary people and their circumstances - motives that were to make him world famous. Especially Jean-Francois Millet has influenced his style, with which he is often compared until today. Both painters have in common that they depicted the simple life of those who are less fortunate and have a rather low social status, with great empathy and compassion. The suffering and daily grief of these people is expressed very vividly in Israel's paintings - as well as in the Millets. Historical and dramatic motifs of his time were henceforth the focus of his work. He was particularly inspired by the simple life in a fishing village near Haarlem, which he often visited for health reasons. Here he painted and tried to improve his health with the help of the sea air. His works and figurative representations are extremely realistic and full of expression, emotion and drama. His works became known beyond the borders of the Netherlands, for the painter was even noticed in London. From 1871 the artist settled in The Hague, where he worked until his death. Here he trained his son Isaac, who later became famous as one of the most important Amsterdam Impressionists.
