De Lauriergracht bij de Tweede Laurierdwarsstraat 1917 - 1918

George Hendrik Breitner, a Dutch painter known for his atmospheric urban scenes, captures a quiet moment in Amsterdam in his 1917-1918 oil painting, *De Lauriergracht bij de Tweede Laurierdwarsstraat*. The painting depicts a street corner with a few figures, showcasing Breitner’s characteristic use of light and shadow to convey the essence of the city. The composition, with its narrow perspective, emphasizes the buildings' imposing presence and creates a sense of depth. The painting is currently held at the Rijksmuseum, offering art enthusiasts a glimpse into the streetscapes of early 20th-century Amsterdam.
