In the Dressing Room of the Scala Theatre (20th century). Isaac Lazarus Israëls (Dutch, Amsterdam Impressionism, 1865-1934). Oil on canvas. Israëls studied at the Amsterdam Royal Academy of Visual Arts. He quickly abandoned the academy for the more progressive circle of the Tachtigers, an influential group that insisted style must reflect content and that emotionally charged subjects can only be represented by an equally intense technique. Influenced by this philosophy, Israëls became a painter of the streets, cafes, and cabarets of Amsterdam. -- source link
