W. Steenhoff, Onze kunst 3 (1904) Jozef Israels, p. 29-51 (illus. op p. 36.). Footnote: Jozef Israels (27 January 1824 - 12 August 1911) was a leading member of the group of landscape painters referred to as the Hague School and, during his lifetime compared to Jean-Francois Millet., considered the most respected Dutch artist of the second half of the nineteenth century and even hailed as a second Rembrandt by some. In 1855, after spending time in various art academies including the ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and working as an academic history and landscape painter, after an illness he spent time convalescing in the fishing village of Zandvoort near Haarlem. It was there he witnessed the poverty of the fishermen and their families and his style changed dramatically. Israels work took on a poignant sense of empathy with the subjects and moments of life he captured. In May 1894 Jozef Israels traveled to Spain and North Africa with his son Isaac, also a painter, and the writer Frans Erens. Working often with his son, Israels paintings became more luminous, resembling Isaacs style. The piece offered here captures the artists late oeuvre with glowing light, subtle brushwork and a very sensitive approach to his subject matter.
