EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "Potato eaters - Les mangeurs de pommes de terre" by Jozef Israels. Created around 1902, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 119.5x151 centimeters and is housed in the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. Israels, a celebrated Dutch artist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, skillfully captures a poignant scene of everyday life in his homeland. The painting depicts a group of countrymen and women gathered around a humble meal consisting mainly of potatoes, highlighting the importance of this staple food for the impoverished population. The rich colors and meticulous attention to detail bring forth emotions of empathy as we witness their struggle with poverty and old age. Israels' masterful brushstrokes convey not only physical hardship but also resilience and unity within these individuals. Through this artwork, Israels invites viewers to contemplate themes such as social inequality, rural life, and human connection amidst adversity. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of scarcity, shared meals can foster camaraderie and provide solace. This print offers us an opportunity to appreciate Israels' artistic genius while reflecting on historical contexts surrounding food security during the early 20th century in Netherlands Holland Dutch society.
