Amsterdam 100 Years Ago: Incredible Old Photos!

in art •  7 years ago 

George Hendrik Breitner was a prominent Dutch impressionist, known for drawing everyday scenes on the streets of Amsterdam with his friend and colleague Vincent Van Gogh. Somewhere in the 1890s, Breitner decided that painting was not enough and also absorbed the art of photography. Like his paintings, Breitner's photographs are more concerned with the atmosphere and movement than with fidelity and sharpness.

Discover some of his most impressive photos:

A man trapped on a bicycle by the Prinsengracht.

A dog tram taking a well-deserved rest.

People walk through the dam.

Oudezijds Achterburgwa and Kolkje.

Gelder's Quay and Geldersekade.
