View of the Bridge between Prinsengracht and Brouwersgracht, Amsterdam
attributed to George Hendrik Breitner, c. 1895 - c. 1900
George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) gelatin silver print, c. 1895-1900 Breitner was the Impressionist of the photographers. He worked by morning light, at dusk, and in the gloom of an alley. He saw the light shining through fluttering laundry, or of a chilly morning with a passer-by. He was unconcerned by blurring, an uneven horizon, or a cropped tree. These were the exciting coincidences that resulted from working with a rapid hand-held camera.
