Additional quotes by Hendrik Willem Mesdag
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. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)
(original Dutch: citaat van Hendrik Willem Mesdag, in het Nederlands:) En zie je, als mijn vrouw zo'n veertig jaar geleden niet gezegd had: doe 't maar, laten we maar gaan naar Brussel om te gaan studeren in schilderen, bij o.a. , dan was 'k waarschijnlijk nooit uit mijn zaken getrokken.
It was fatal news: the sudden death of our boy, a three-day illness ended his life. What is our house empty.. .,which for eight years [age of their son] was the illusion of our lives. Fortunately for us that we love art and let us hope that we [Mesdag and Sientje, his wife] continue to dedicate our lives to our painting, which has given me already so much pleasure.. (translation from original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)
