View in Amsterdam 1880 - 1923

"View in Amsterdam" is a painting by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner, known for his urban landscapes. This painting, created between 1880 and 1923, captures a fleeting moment in the city. A horse-drawn cart dominates the composition, with a figure in black silhouetted against the bright, gestural brushstrokes that define the city buildings. The painting exemplifies Breitner's interest in the dynamism of Amsterdam's streets, a theme he explored throughout his career. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to Breitner's contribution to Dutch art history.
