Akte van de geloofsbelijdenis van George Hendrik Breitner c. 1876

This is a certificate of confession of faith, also called an attestation of faith, made in 1876 for George Hendrik Breitner, a Dutch painter known for his cityscape paintings. The certificate is decorated with an ornate Gothic-inspired border and includes religious quotations. The certificate is a valuable record of Breitner's religious affiliation and his personal beliefs, offering insight into his life outside of art. This historical document, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, can be studied to understand the social and religious context of Breitner's life and work.
