A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Excerpt from Jozef Israels

The painter whose work is discussed in the following pages had the distinction of being a leader in a movement that took the art of his country back to a vivid and inspiring interpretation of contemporary life, and of the natural world in which that life was lived, from which it had long departed to give instead pictures of mythological and historical subjects that were supposed to have both in their art and in their subjects an importance that records of immediate, ordinary happenings could not have. Dutch painting had been led to make this change by French influence at the close of the seventeenth century, after giving, during that century, the first example of the devotion of a national art to a record of contemporary life, and of the country in which the nation had its home.
