196. These two oils are by Josef Israëls (1824-1911). Israëls was born in Groningen in the Netherlands. It was not until he reached 16 years of age that he first went to Amsterdam, where he traveled to study with the master Cornelis Kruseman. In 1845, Israëls went to Paris, where he stayed for three years. His main teacher in Paris was Francois Edouard Picot. Israëls established his reputation at the Parisian salons during the 19th Century, achieving great acclaim, numerous medals and awards, and the Officier de la Legion d'Honneur. He received First Prize at both Expositions Universelles in 1889 and 1900. Israëls is often considered to be one of the most important Dutch artists of the Nineteenth Century. His style and subject matter influenced countless artists including Van Gogh. His paintings are in the permanent collection of museums worldwide, including the national collections in Amsterdam, Dordrecht, Groningen, The Hague, Montreal, Moscow and Rotterdam. These two panel paintings are owned by Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
