Cornelis Kruseman Foundation

Ising Foundation (Dutch: Cornelis Kruseman - J.M.C.

The foundation's objective is to bring the work of nineteenth century painter Cornelis Kruseman (1797–1857) and his painting family members to the attention of the public.

The foundation was established on the initiative of Jozina Maria Cornelia Ising.

She was a descendant of Johannes Diederik Kruseman (1794–1861), whose eldest daughter Johanna Cornelia Maria Kruseman (1827–1914) in 1851 married Constant Gautier Cathérine François Ising (1823–1894), colonel of the artillery.

Ising bequeathed her fortune to the foundation and also arranged for the State of the Netherlands to grant the foundation the long-term loan of five paintings that she had donated to the State in 1971.
