Isaac Israëls
Isaac Lazarus Israëls (born February 3, 1865 in Amsterdam , † October 7, 1934 in The Hague ) was a Dutch painter .
As the son of Jozef Israëls , who was also a painter, he developed an interest in painting as a child. Between 1878 and 1880 he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. In 1881, at the age of 16, he sold an unfinished painting to artist and collector Hendrik Willem Mesdag . In 1882 he sent one of his first works, Militaire Begrafenis (Military Burial), to the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris. From 1886 Israëls lived in Amsterdam, where he enrolled at the local Reich Academy of Fine Arts to complete his studies; however, he only stayed for a year. Israëls often spent the summer with his father in Scheveningen . There he often worked with the German painter Max Liebermann . Interested in the change of light between the sun and the sea, he painted a number of colorful coastal scenes. Introduced by Thérèse Schwartze , he also devoted himself to motifs from the fashion world with mannequins and seamstresses.
In Amsterdam, Israëls became a friend of George Hendrik Breitner . The two artists captured fleeting moments from everyday life in the Dutch capital. Between 1903 and 1923 Israëls spent most of his time working in Paris and London.
At the art competitions of the Olympic Games in Amsterdam in 1928 , he won the gold medal in the painting category for his painting “Rider in a Red Skirt”.
