    Isaac Israels is wellicht de meest bekende Nederlandse impressionist. Aanvankelijk werd hij vooral geboeid door het leven in de stad; samen met Breitner doorkruiste hij Amsterdam op zoek naar eigentijdse motieven: straattaferelen, caféscènes, theaters. In de jaren ’90 ontstonden de blonde strandgezichten van Scheveningen.

  • About the artist

    Isaac Israels was born in Amsterdam in 1865, the son of the painter Jozef Israels. Early in his life, his family moved to The Hague. During his life as an artist Isaac exchanged ‘the grey' pallet of the Haagse school (the Hague school) for a more colourful and lively pallet.
    Israels was associated with the Amsterdam Impressionism movement.
    Between 1880 and 1882 he studied at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, where he met George Hendrik Breitner who was to become a lifelong friend.
    He returned to Amsterdam where he was asked to join the Kring der Tachtigers (the group of Eighty). Cityscapes featuring Amsterdam and Parisian street life, fashionable ladies, the interiors of cafés and sewing workshops are amongst his most popular scenes. He is considered to be one of the most important Dutch impressionists.
    Isaac Israels died in 1934 in The Hague.
