David Adolph Constant Artz

David Adolph Constant Artz (1837 - 1890) was a Dutch painter and collector who associated with some members of the Hague School. He worked with Israëls in Zandvoort in 1859. Unlike Israëls, however, Artz depicted only the more cheerful sides of the fisherman's life. From 1855 to 1864 he was a member of the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam. Technically, he distinguished himself from Israëls in his use of sharp outlines and bright colour.
