George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) Was Among the Most Successful Dutch Painters of the Nineteenth Century
George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) was among the most successful Dutch painters of the nineteenth century. Well known for his paintings of city scenes, a series of young women dressed in kimonos, cavalrymen and horses, Breitner also depicted cats in his sketches, paintings, and photo- graphs. Breitner was a cat lover: cats were always roaming around in his house and in his studio. This book contains a selection of his sketches and photographs of cats. George Hendrik Breitner Born in Rotterdam in 1857, George Hendrik Breitner began his studies at the Academy of Art, The Hague, in 1876. There he met painters of the Hague School who, influenced by the French Barbizon painters, preferred realism to romanticism. Soon known for his ability to paint horses, Breitner was hired by Hendrik Willem Mesdag in 1881 to paint the horses in his renowned panorama painting of Scheveningen, which can still be visited today in a specially built rotund gallery in The Hague. A year later Breitner befriended Vincent van Gogh, with whom he often went sketching in and around The Hague. Attracted by its vibrant artistic and cultural life spurred by a revival of economic growth, Breitner moved to Amsterdam in 1886. Here Breitner captured the city’s street life in many of his paintings. Horses remained an important subject for the artist, but he soon replaced his caval- ry horses with those pulling carts and trams. He often took his sketchbook on his walks through the town and, from around 1890, he would also take his Kodak camera out with him to capture scenes that would find their way into his paintings. -

XLIV, in an advertisement for M. Newman, Ltd., London, reproduced E. Bénézit, “Bartholomeus-Johannes van Hove” in Dictionnaire des Peintres, Sculpteurs, Dessinateurs et Graveurs, volume 5, Libraire Gründ, Paris, 1976, p. 634 In a large panel, under radiant skies, the old fortifications of Haarlem abut the Spaarne River. The Grote Houtpoort rises majestically in the foreground, dominating the scene with its weathervane reaching to the composition’s edge. The Kalistoren Tower, used for the storage of gunpowder, is in the middle with the Kleine Houtpoort visible in the distance. Built in 1570, the Grote Houtpoort was at the end of the Grote Houtstraat, one of the main roads from the Grote Markt that led outside the city walls. Beyond the gate lay the wooded area, called the Haarlemmerwoud. The temperature is mild, over the arched bridge of the Grote Houtpoort, residents contentedly stroll, conversed or stop to admire the view. Below boatmen propel their craft across glass-like waters with shimmering reflections and floating swans. The sense of well-being pervades this orderly view of the city’s great landmarks that dominate its skyline. -

Girl with a Flute
National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century Attributed to Johannes Vermeer Johannes Vermeer Dutch, 1632 - 1675 Girl with a Flute probably 1665/1675 oil on panel painted surface: 20 x 17.8 cm (7 7/8 x 7 in.) framed: 39.7 x 37.5 x 5.1 cm (15 5/8 x 14 3/4 x 2 in.) Widener Collection 1942.9.98 ENTRY In 1906 Abraham Bredius, director of the Mauritshuis in The Hague, traveled to Brussels to examine a collection of drawings owned by the family of Jonkheer Jan de Grez. [1] There he discovered, hanging high on a wall, a small picture that he surmised might be by Vermeer of Delft. Bredius asked for permission to take down the painting, which he exclaimed to be “very beautiful.” He then asked if the painting could be exhibited at the Mauritshuis, which occurred during the summer of 1907. Bredius’ discovery was received with great acclaim. In 1911, after the death of Jonkheer Jan de Grez, the family sold the painting, and it soon entered the distinguished collection of August Janssen in Amsterdam. After this collector’s death in 1918, the painting was acquired by the Amsterdam art dealer Jacques Goudstikker, and then by M. Knoedler & Co., New York, which subsequently sold it to Joseph E. Widener. On March 1, 1923, the Paris art dealer René Gimpel recorded the transaction in his diary, commenting: “It’s truly one of the master’s most beautiful works.” [2] Despite the enthusiastic reception that this painting received after its discovery in the first decade of the twentieth century, the attribution of this work has frequently Girl with a Flute 1 © National Gallery of Art, Washington National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century been brought into question by later scholars. -

Paris: Dutch Institute, 2011. 13 pp; 13 b/w illustrations € 3 George Hendrik Breitner (1857–1923), a daring Dutch artist from the late nineteenth century, aimed at pushing Dutch impressionism from the idealized countryside to the busy streets of Amsterdam. Born and briefly artistically trained in Rotterdam, Breitner left for The Hague in 1876 to learn from the artists of The Hague School. But it was his contact with Vincent van Gogh that encouraged his taste for the “people,” the working class in its daily activity. In addition to this, he became associated with the avant-garde group called the Tachtigers (Eighteen-Eighties Artists), which promoted a new writing style, between realism and impressionism. -
Mesdag-Van Houten, Sientje
Sientje Mesdag-van Houten, Foral Still Life Saint-Josse-ten-Noode 1847 – 1943 Brussels oil on panel 16 ¾ by 14 ¾ inches (43 by 37.5 cm.) signed lower right: ‘S M.vH’ provenance: Brabantse KunstJaleriJ, Oirshot, The Netherlands; Private collection, The Netherlands note: SientJe van Houten married Hendrik Willem Mesdag in April 1856 and seven years later in 1863 their only child, Klaas was born. In 1864, her father died and left her a substantial inheritance. This change in her financial situation allowed Hendrik to leave his father’s bank where he had been working for siXteen years and concentrate on his painting and eventually become a professional artist. SientJe accompanied her husband when he went to Brussels to study under Willem Roelofs. Their house in Rue Van de Weyer was often the focal point for Dutch and Belgian painters, and it could well have been the conversations on art at these soirées that stimulated SientJe’s mind and enhanced her artistic talent. She, like her husband, not only received instruction from Roelofs but also from Hendrik’s cousin the professional artist, Lawrence Alma-Tadema. SientJe van Houten accompanied her husband when he spent the summer of 1866 at the Oosterbeek artist colony and again in the summer of 1868 on the island of Nordeney where she, like Hendrik, spent time painting and sketching seascapes. The couple moved to The Hague in 1869, where they lived in a house on Anna Paulownastraat and later in a house on Laan van Meerdervoort. Her husband, who wanted to concentrate on seascapes, later hired a studio room facing the sea at the Villa Elba in Scheveningen where he and Sientje would spend hours painting and sketching. -

Veen, Amsterdam 1918 Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_onz021191801_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. 1 [Deel XXXIII] Jules de Bruycker Teekenaar en etser HET gereedschap van den teekenaar weegt niet zwaarder dan dat van den minnezanger. Een teekenplank, inkt, pennen, veel meer heeft hij niet noodig. Wanneer hij tevens graveur is, zooals Jules de Bruycker, heeft hij luttel méér mee te voeren. Waar hij stil houdt, kan zijn zang van zwarte lijnen dadelijk op het blanke papier ontstaan. Hij is als de ketellapper, die zich op den hoek eener straat nederzet. Wat weegt hij weinig in het zware leven! De liefde tot zijn ambacht vervult hem zoozeer, dat het hem onverschillig is, of hij in een paleis of op een zolder woont. Want er leeft evenveel passie in dengene die etst of hout snijdt, als in den fresco-schilder. Die kunst leeft heelemaal mee met den geest en de stemming van een mensch. Het is een handwerk, dat den eenvoudigen werker niet onderscheidt van den meest primitieven ambachtsman. Gemakkelijker nog dan de schilders, konden teekenaars en plaatsnijders dus den weg der ballingschap uitgaan. Zij behoefden slechts een tafel, bij het licht van een raam. Zij, die ooit met vreugde handwerk hebben verricht, beseffen hoe het graveeren vele zorgen kan doen vergeten. Welke macht zou hen van hun venster kunnen wegrukken? En wat zouden ze met meer eer en overtuiging kunnen voortbrengen, dan hunne prenten? Overigens leven plaatsnijder en teekenaar niet in het werkelijke leven.
