(original Dutch: citaat van Hendrik Willem Mesdag, in het Nederlands:) ..thuis [in Brussel, 1869] had ik een heelen winter aan een werkstuk zitten scharrelen; 't was een kust, maar zo naiëf geschilderd. Toen zei ik: je moet de zee voor je zien, elken dag, er mee leven, anders wordt het niets. En toen gingen we naar Den Haag.
(original Dutch: citaat van Hendrik Willem Mesdag's brief, in het Nederlands:) .. heeft mij geschreven dat U beiden het ermee eens bent deze twee schilderijen [van Mesdag die hij had gemaakt in 1868-69] niet tentoon te stellen.; zij waren nog niet volledig genoeg voor mijn reputatie in Brussel. Daarom zal ik dit jaar niet in Brussel exposeren, want ik zeg u oprecht dat ik op dit moment nog niet beter kan.. .Ik heb zeer weinig plezier gehad van mijn tentoongestelde schilderijen in Den Haag; zij zijn zeer slecht geplaatst, zodat men ze bijna niet ziet maar wat kan men eraan doen? Lijden en zwijgen.

Those two [ Alma Tadema and Roelofs, teaching both Mesdag in Brussels, 1867-69] instructed in exactly the opposite way, you know. For example, Roelofs used to say: you must put more color in that drawing [often meant: watercolor]. And you didn't always saw it yourself in a moment, because you were not yet that far and as high as the master himself was. But Tadema did something completely different; he had more the manners of a professor, who gave his lectures. So Roelofs and he actually complemented each other.
