A captivating journey through early 20th-century Europe as seen by artist Isaac Israels, exploring art, identity, and cultural change across a rapidly modernizing continent. This richly illustrated book follows the journeys of Dutch artist Isaac Israels (1865-1934), whose restless wanderlust took him across Europe and profoundly shaped his artistic vision. The son of painter Jozef Israels, Isaac immersed himself in the cultural life of cities such as Paris, London, and Berlin, and traveled extensively through Italy, Austria, Spain, Denmark, and Sweden. Even during the First World War, he continued to explore the continent, sketching the people and places he encountered. His dynamic paintings reveal a Europe in transition--vibrant, cosmopolitan, and increasingly modern. Through Israels' eyes, the book reflects on themes of migration, identity, and the visual expression of "Europeanness" at the dawn of the 20th century. Presented by the Kröller-Müller Museum, home to one of the world's foremost collections of modern art, it offers an evocative journey through both art and history.
