As one of the older painters of the Hague School, lsraёl's was known for his open mind and his great interest in new expressions in literature and visual arts, and, during his lifetime, "the most respected Dutch artist of the second half of the nineteenth century". His earliest works were romantic historical paintings, but after staying at Zandvoort in 1855 he concentrated on scenes with fishermen or peasants - which recall works by his contemporaries in France, especially Millet and Daumier. lsraёls working method was widely adopted in the 19th century, both with Dutch painters such as Van Gogh and Mondriaan, and with foreigners such as Мах Liebermann. In his later years Israëls lived in The Hague and became internationally famous, exhibiting in Paris and London as well as in Holland. In The Hague Jozef had а studio built with а 'fisherman's corner' and an Old Dutch window. Figures posed in а certain way posed in f ront of that window. This resulted in port raits and interiors with beautifu l light and dark effects. His later works include The Widower (in the Mesdag collection), When we grow Old, Peasant Family at the Table and Alone in the World (Van Gogh Museum / Amsterdam Gallery), An Interior (Dordrecht Gallery), A Frugal Meal (Glasgow museum), Toilers of the Sea, Speechless Dialogue, Between the Fields and the Seashore, The Bric-a-brac Seller (which gained medals of honor at the great Paris Exhibition of 1900).

  • Russian Modernist Сityscape Venetian Motive early 20th century Oil Painting
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Signed lower left: Vasily (Wilhelm) Filippovich Levi (1878 - 1954). The uncommon view of Venice was depicted by gifted artist in even more modernism manner than his other works of same period. IMO this one worth special acceptance being very rare and highly desired masterwork. The scorching sun gilds the sparkling expanse of the canal with its rays. At this hour the city is empty.

  • Grandpa and Naughty Boy Danish Master Genre Scene 19th century Signed Framed
    By Erik Ludwig Henningsen

    Signed lower right “Henningsen” and dated 1881 at reverse. Attributed by Erik Ludvig Henningsen (1855 - 1930) was a Danish painter and illustrator. Masterly painted genre scene “testing grandfather’s pipe” depicting lively domestic moment. The little prankster wants to be like his grandfather, but how can he not try his grandfather’s pipe, which he loves so much and does not let go of even in his sleep. The curious and brave sly man, despite the consequences, took off his shoes to approach quietly... One can imagine his disappointment and emotions after he accomplished what he had planned... The boy's faithful friend, a small dog, looks at all this with interest and curiosity. Loved and admired for his talent to realistically portray life and tell a story at the same time, Henningsen took great pride to never include any personal feelings or philosophy, but to stay neutral to the subject matter for whichever painting he was doing.
