Jozef Israels
Dutch 1824 - 1911
Grace Before Meals
Circa 1890
Jozef Israëls was a Dutch painter. He was a leading member of the group of landscape painters referred to as the Hague School and, during his lifetime, "the most respected Dutch artist of the second half of the nineteenth century".
He was born in Groningen, of Jewish parents. His father, Hartog Abraham Israëls, intended for him to be a businessman, and it was only after a determined struggle that he was allowed to embark on an artistic career. He studied initially from 1835 to 1842 at the Minerva Academy in his home town Groningen.
He continued his studies subsequently in Amsterdam, studying at the Royal Academy for Fine Arts which later became the State Academy for Fine Arts in Amsterdam. He was a pupil of Jan Kruseman and attended the drawing class at the academy. From September 1845 until May 1847 he was in Paris, working in the history painter Picot's studio and taking classes at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under James Pradier, Horace Vernet and Paul Delaroche. He returned to Amsterdam in September 1845 where he resumed his studies at the Academy until May 1847. Israels remained in Amsterdam until 1870, when he moved to The Hague and became a leading member of the Hague School of landscape painters.
He married Aleida Schaap and the couple had two children, a daughter Mathilde Anna Israëls and a son, Isaac Lazarus Israëls, born Amsterdam 3 February 1865, who also became a fine art painter.
Israëls has often been compared to Jean-François Millet. As artists, even more than as painters in the strict sense of the word, they both, in fact, saw in the life of the poor and humble a motive for expressing with peculiar intensity their wide human sympathy; but Millet was the poet of placid rural life, while in almost all Israëls' pictures there is some piercing note of woe. Edmond Duranty said of them that they were painted with gloom and suffering.
He began with historical and dramatic subjects in the romantic style of the day. By chance, after an illness, he went to recuperate his strength at the fishing-town of Zandvoort near Haarlem, and there he was struck by the daily tragedy of life. Thenceforth he was possessed by a new vein of artistic expression, sincerely realistic, full of emotion and pity.
Among his more important subsequent works are The Zandvoort Fisherman (in the Amsterdam Gallery), The Silent House (which gained a gold medal at the Brussels Salon, 1858) and Village Poor (a prize at Manchester).
In 1862, he achieved great success in London with his Shipwrecked, purchased by Mr Young, and The Cradle, two pictures that the Athenaeum magazine described as the most touching pictures of the exhibition. A portrait of Jozef Israëls was painted by the Scottish painter George Paul Chalmers .

Renaissance, Romanticism, and Rebellion: European Art from the Smith-Naifeh Collection - October 11, 2025 - February 22, 2026
www.mintmuseum.org/exhibition/renaissance-romanticism-and...
Spanning the dynamic artistic landscape of 19th-century Europe, these works trace a period marked by dramatic cultural, social, and aesthetic transformation. Drawn entirely from the acclaimed Smith-Naifeh Collection—assembled over decades by South Carolina-based collectors and scholars Gregory Smith and Steven Naifeh—this exhibition highlights the extraordinary range of innovation and expression that shaped European art during this pivotal century. Many of the artists represented were not only leaders of their time but also influenced or worked alongside artists such as Vincent van Gogh (about whom Smith and Naifeh wrote a critically acclaimed biography), leaving an enduring impact on the trajectory of modern art.
Organized thematically, the exhibition unfolds across three distinct sections:
Renaissance showcases artists who looked to classical antiquity and Renaissance ideals, emphasizing harmony, nature, and rigorous academic training, to craft works that aligned with the standards of prestigious European salons.
Romanticism explores the emotional depth and imaginative power of the era, with works designed to stir awe, empathy, and introspection through dramatic narratives and evocative landscapes.
Rebellion celebrates the avant-garde spirit of artists who challenged academic norms, embracing bold subjects and experimental techniques in brushwork and color that signaled the birth of modernism.

Rap für Toleranz, Fairplay und RESPECT!
an der EURO 08
Veranstaltung vom 16.6.2008 in der Fanzone Kaserne-Riviera, Basel
Stiftung Erziehung zur Toleranz (SET)

In previous versions of human civilization, respect wasn't simply reserved for the rich, famous, and powerful, but was generously offered to all living beings. And for those seriously pursuing a genuine spiritual path, respect was especially offered, because it was understood that they were performing the greatest service to society. By advocating and showing a practical example of dedication to the actual human calling, they inspired many to also walk the essential yet not so traveled path of self-realization.
How do we recognize a genuinely spiritual person? By their dress? Hairstyle? Title? A strong belief in a better next life? Religious affiliation or lack thereof? Proficiency at yoga asanas or mystical feats like levitation or producing valuable items out of thin air? Or maybe because they have the gift of the gab and hoards of adoring followers? In Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna, as a sincere seeker of truth, asks Krishna this very question, and Krishna’s nonsectarian and objectively verifiable reply makes sense:
“O Arjuna, when a person gives up all selfish desires, which come from an uncontrolled mind, and when his mind is purified, finding satisfaction in the self alone, then he is said to be in pure nonmaterial consciousness.”
Going deep, beyond superficial appearances, the genuinely spiritual person is recognized by having immaculate personal qualities and is self-satisfied, possessing the pure desire to serve the Supreme and all living beings. Such an authentic individual is watering the root of the tree of existence with every word, thought, and deed, thereby offering the best service to all. Certainly, it's in our highest self-interest to offer him or her sincere respect, gratitude, and assistance.
At first I thought these signs at heiau (ancient temples) throughout Hawaii were part of the nanny state approach California is increasingly succumbing to. But apparently they are just a reaction to obnoxious tourists who have stolen rocks or otherwise disturbed these sites in the past. In the end, Hawaii does seem considerably more laid back about liability and public access than California - more on that when I post the warning signs on Pismo Beach..
