About George Hendrik Breitner

1857–1923 • Kingdom of the Netherlands

In the early 1880s, he and Vincent van Gogh painted the residents of the working class neighborhoods of The Hague and in the province of Drenthe. Breitner moved to Amsterdam in 1886, where he became the leading painter of the Amsterdam Impressionists, documenting the urban life of Amsterdam and its residents. Comment on works: Landscapes; Views
