The Rokin, Amsterdam 1923 - 1925

"The Rokin, Amsterdam" is a painting by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1923 and 1925. This oil on canvas depicts a snowy scene on the Rokin street in Amsterdam, with two horses pulling a carriage and a group of people passing by. The painting captures the bustling daily life of the city and is a characteristic example of Breitner's style, known for its use of loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers viewers a glimpse into the cityscape of Amsterdam in the early 20th century, as seen through the eyes of a celebrated Dutch Impressionist.
