About George Hendrik Breitner
George Hendrik Breitner (12 September 1857 – 5 June 1923) was a Dutch painter and photographer. An important figure in Amsterdam Impressionism, he is noted especially for his paintings of street scenes and harbours around 1890 – 1920. He painted frequently en plain air, and became interested in photography as a means of documenting street life and atmospheric effects; he loved the Dutch rainy and snowy weather.

Do you know what I really need to make a well-finished painting? 2 years at Gérome or somebody like him, working in the studio.. ..because that is the only way to become a good painter. That whole business.. then a small watercolour than a little painting and finally when I have earned so much that I could study, I have become too old and too miserable. (translation from the original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek)
