" "I heard nothing from his excellence [Mr. Keiller bought a picture of 1000 pond and sent Israëls the money but no word about the picture].. .I am sure he will be satisfied by it when he hears it is good. I have some practice in those matters of amateurs. The best pictures are the worst for them naturally. They have not the tools to understand it, but when they hear other saying it is fine, they make a high breast saying 'I' ordered that picture..

Additional quotes by Jozef Israëls
Lord, oh Lord, will I return to you once, being a genuine artist. Will all those Art lovers once behold my works with reverence and the laurel of Art then adorn my head.. .I experience so ardently all the beauty of my noble career.. .And once again I call to you, it would be much better not to live at all than being disappointed in my feeling. (translation from original Dutch text: Fons Heijnsbroek).
There are people who think that it [the Watch', in the Rijksmuseum, 1884] is placed beautifully, - it shines, it just roars like a fairground attraction - but is that the way that the greatest art ought to be exhibited? After all, it is unnecessary to add something to the already so strong [light-dark] effect and to the compressing character of the composition, but one must know, learn and feel what Rembrandt really is about. It is no fun or a shout, it is serious and broad art..
version in original Dutch (citaat uit de brief van Jozef Israëls, in het Nederlands): Hij [de schilder te Amsterdam] gaat zeer amical met zijn discipelen om zonder zijn meesterschap aan minachting bloot te stellen. Ik zie hem nu en dan wel eens schilderen. En kom in zijn atelier bijna dagelijksch. Gij moet namenlijk weten dat zijn leerlingen niet in dezelfde kamer zitten te werken waar de groote man zit.. .Soms gaan er wel een of 2 dage voorbij dat hij het werk niet komt zien, hij laat de leerlingen meest hun eigen manier volgen.. .Hij zegt mij Gode zij dank gevoel en dispositie toe..
