Kröller-Müller Museum to Show Isaac Israels' European Travels in 2026
The Kröller-Müller Museum will present 'Isaac Israels’ Europe' from April 24 to August 30, 2026, highlighting the artist's lifelong travel obsession. Isaac Israels (1865–1934), son of famed painter Jozef Israëls, grew up in The Hague amid international visitors, sparking early curiosity. At thirteen, he embarked on his first European tour, beginning a nomadic life that produced a vast, versatile oeuvre depicting early 20th-century cosmopolitan society. The exhibition counters his reputation as solely a portraitist of women, emphasizing his travel-inspired works.
