The Dutch painter Israëls (1865-1934) is associated with the Amsterdam
Impressionist movement. A lifelong friend of the painters George Hendrik
Breitner and Willem de Zwart, he often spent his summers with his father at
the Dutch seaside with guests such as Édouard Manet or Max Liebermann. In
1904, he moved to Paris and painted the Parisian way of life as well as circus
subjects and fashion houses. At the outbreak of the WW1, he lived in London
where he painted people riding horses and then returned to Holland where he
worked as a portrait painter: Mata Hari, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger (Van Gogh’s
sister-in-law), the physician Aletta Jacobs, etc. He travelled around the world
while continuing to paint.
