More about this artwork
"Boom voor het hek van een landhuis" is a beautifully intricate watercolor painting by Jozef Israëls, a master of the Dutch art scene. This tranquil scene seems frozen in time, capturing a serene moment in nature. At the center of the composition stands a majestic tree, its foliage depicted in varying tones of green and yellow, suggesting the play of light and shadow through its leaves. The gentle brushstrokes provide a soft texture, evoking a breezy day.Behind the tree, a quaint country house peeks through, partially obscured by the tree's vast presence. The house, small and inviting, is portrayed with muted tones that blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings. A simple fence runs across the scene, further adding to the sense of serene domesticity and pastoral life.Israëls manages to convey not only the beauty of the rural landscape but also a sense of quietude and peace, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the simplicity and beauty of the scene.

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.
