As the paintings the 'Night Watch' and the 'Staalmeesters' [famous works of Rembrandt ] are showed now [in the Rijksmuseum, 1894] it is clear to ever… - Jozef Israëls
" "As the paintings the 'Night Watch' and the 'Staalmeesters' [famous works of Rembrandt ] are showed now [in the Rijksmuseum, 1894] it is clear to everyone that they have searched but, indeed messed with it, to enable these paintings to do what they can do [visually]. But you see, they did not find a good solution just because they appreciated the museum itself [a rather new building, then!] higher than the paintings themselves. I told at the very first opening of the Rijksmuseum already everyone who wanted to listen to me: in this room, where the Night Watch' is hanging now, it can never comes to its full right.. ..There must be built for the 'Night Watch' and for the 'Staalmeesters' a separate room each .. ..[with] standing light and the paintings positioned on an easel or standard behind.. ..I just want to add here, that my own studio can serve as a very special model.. ..concerning the sizes and the lighting.

Additional quotes by Jozef Israëls
..the owner [of the painting 'When one grows old', 1883].. ..had to hear a lot of comments about it, they called it the apotheosis of a cape, the figure much too big for the frame, etc. etc. [deleted by Israëls:] so they advised him to exchange it for one of my other works. (translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)
version in Dutch (citaat van Jozef Israëls, in het Nederlands): En dan heb je daar m'n goeie rebbe.. ..Hij kwam zo moe-gesjouwd 't atelier op, en toen heb ik hem hier neergezet. Daar zat zo'n echte zit in, in dien kerel, zoo met zoo'n uitgezakte broek.. .Da's mooi, nie-waar, die lange zwarte mantel met die wijde plooien en dat slappe viltje op.. .Hij heeft 't Seifer [de Tora-rol] in z'n arm, zie je wel?. ..Dien ouwe ribbe ken ik toch al wat 'n jaren, en met Poerim en Rausj Hasjoe [Joodse Nieuwjaar] komt ie trouw om z'n douceurtje.
That's how it is
One day two paintings were hanging,
Right opposite each other
Really colorful and beautiful the one
And the other simple and honest
* That simplicity and truth are the characteristics
of science and of art.
Well, people can not understand that.
It was to the tinsel that they gave their favor. (translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)
