More about this artwork

We are pleased to present "Rokin" (1923) by the renowned Dutch impressionist painter George Hendrik Breitner. This evocative artwork captures a winter scene on the Rokin, a street and canal in Amsterdam that was an important part of the city’s historical center.In the painting, Breitner masterfully uses his impressionist technique to evoke the chilly, somewhat bleak atmosphere of a snowy day. The muted palette predominated by browns, grays, and whites contributes to a sense of quietude that seems to envelop the scene. The focus of the composition is a group of figures in the foreground - two women dressed in traditional long coats and headscarves and a horse-drawn carriage handled by a man. The horses, painted with dynamic strokes of chestnut and white, add a sense of movement against the static backdrop of the city's historic buildings. These buildings, finely detailed in the distance, display the typical Dutch architecture with their narrow fronts and gable roofs.Breitner's work is celebrated for his ability to depict everyday scenes and city life with both realism and emotional depth. In "Rokin," he not only captures the physical presence of the Amsterdam scenery but also imparts a profound sense of moment and place. Viewers are invited to ponder the day-to-day experiences of the painting's figures, their silent stories told in the middle of a wintery Amsterdam day.

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.
