More about this artwork

"Winter," an evocative painting by the renowned Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, captures the stark and raw essence of the cold season in a deeply personal and impressionistic style. The painting features two figures, their identities obscured by the muted and dark tones that dominate the canvas, suggesting the anonymity of city life during the harsh winter months. The figure on the left appears to be bundled in heavy winter clothes, with a hat and a scarf, indicative of an attempt to shield oneself from the biting cold. The blurred face and somber expression evoke a sense of melancholy and endurance.On the right, another figure emerges from the shadowy background, portrayed with slightly warmer tones yet similarly indistinct features. This interaction, or perhaps mere proximity, between the two figures adds a human element to the scene, highlighting the shared experiences of weathering a harsh winter.Breitner's use of impasto and the textured application of paint creates a dynamic and tactile surface, mirroring the gritty reality of winter in an urban setting. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, contributing to the overall atmosphere of a cold, damp environment, where details are lost to the gloom and the primary struggle is against the elements.In "Winter," Breitner not only documents a seasonal change but also delves into the emotional and physical impacts of this season on human lives.

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.
