IN COMMON WITH GYULA TORNAI (SEE LOT 209) AND MANY OTHER ARTISTS FROM THE HUNGARIAN OR SLAVONIAN PROVINCES OF THE HABSBURG EMPIRE, DANIEL ISRAEL GRAVITATED TOWARDS THE ACADEMY OF ARTS IN MUNICH RATHER THAN THAT OF VIENNA THROUGH A PREFERENCE FOR THE MORE LIBERAL TEACHING METHODS EMPLOYED IN BAVARIA. IT WAS IN 1885, FOLLOWING HIS TRAINING IN HISTORY PAINTING IN MUNICH UNDER JOHANN HERTERICH AND OTTO SEITZ, THAT ISRAEL SET SAIL FOR THE EAST, JOURNEYING VIA BOSNIA, CONSTANTINOPLE AND PALESTINE TO EGYPT.
