Kollekció: George Hendrik Breitner

George Hendrik Breitner (1857–1923) was a Dutch painter and photographer, renowned for his contributions to the Hague School and later for his work in the Dutch Impressionist movement. Known for his dynamic and realistic depictions of urban life, Breitner’s art captured the vibrant energy of Amsterdam and other cities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His subjects ranged from street scenes and portraits to landscapes, often infused with a sense of modernity and movement. Breitner’s bold use of color and light, particularly in works like Girl in a Kimono and The Red Light District, reflect his keen observation of the world around him and his innovative approach to capturing contemporary life.
