More about this artwork

"De Lauriergracht bij de Tweede Laurierdwarsstraat" is a captivating painting by George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1917 and 1918. This artwork vividly captures a scene from the streets of Amsterdam, featuring the Lauriergracht, a canal lined with historic buildings that speak to the city’s rich architectural heritage.In this painting, Breitner's brushwork brings to life the atmospheric essence of Amsterdam. The composition showcases a range of buildings, each rendered with muted tones and subtle details that evoke the texture and aged beauty of the urban landscape. The central focus of the painting is a figure walking down the street, whose presence adds a human element and a sense of scale to the scene. This figure, dressed in period attire, helps to anchor the painting in its specific historical context.The overall palette is dominated by earthy colors—ochres, browns, and grays—that harmonize to create a moody and somewhat melancholic atmosphere typical of Breitner's cityscapes. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with his impressionistic application of paint, lends a dynamic quality to the scene, capturing a fleeting moment in the daily life of Amsterdam.

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.
