Construction work in Amsterdam
Signed and dated 'G.H. Breitner 1897.' (lower left) | Oil on canvas
George Hendrik Breitner (12 September 1857 – 5 June 1923) was a Dutch painter and photographer. An important figure in Amsterdam Impressionism, he is noted especially for his paintings of street scenes and harbours in a realistic style. He painted en plein air, and became interested in photography as a means of documenting street life and atmospheric effects – rainy weather in particular – as reference materials for his paintings. From 1876–1880 he attended the Art Academy in The Hague where his extraordinary talent was rewarded on various occasions. From October 1878 till April 1879 he worked as an art teacher at the Leiden academy Ars Aemula Naturae. In 1880 he was expelled from the Art Academy of The Hague for misconduct, because he had destroyed the regulations-board. In the same year he lived at landscapist Willem Maris's place at Loosduinen and was accepted as a member of Pulchri Studio, an important artist's society in The Hague. Later, he distanced himself from the Hague School and today he is generally regarded as an Amsterdam Impressionist. - Sobre el artista
George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) nació en Rotterdam.
En 1876 se matriculó en la academia de La Haya. Posteriormente, trabajó en el estudio de Willem Maris. En este período temprano estuvo especialmente influenciado por los pintores de la Escuela de La Haya.
Breitner prefería modelos de clase trabajadora: jornaleros, sirvientas y gente de barrios de clase baja. Se veía a sí mismo como 'le peintre du peuple', el pintor del pueblo.
En 1886 se trasladó a Amsterdam, donde registró la vida de la ciudad en bocetos, pinturas y fotografías. A veces hacía varias fotografías del mismo tema, desde distintos ángulos o en distintas condiciones meteorológicas. Las fotos pueden servir como ejemplo para una pintura, como para sus retratos de niñas en kimonos, o como material de referencia general.
Breitner colaboró a menudo con Isaac Israels; Ambos pintores se conocen como impresionistas de Amsterdam. Los críticos conservadores calificaron el estilo de Breitner de "inacabado".
