About ‘Amsterdam Painting, The Singel Bridge near the Paleisstraat in Amsterdam’
The Singel bridge near the Paleisstraat in Amsterdam, George Hendrik Breitner, 1896 The Singel bridge near the Paleisstraat in Amsterdam. Winter view with figures crossing the bridge. In the foreground a woman wearing voile and a brown cloak trimmed with fur. Breitner often took his own photographs in preparation for his paintings. A number of such preliminary studies are known from this painting too. The way the woman walks straight towards us and the cropping of the image look very photographic. Initially, a maid was painted here, but after negative criticism, the art dealer selling his paintings thought it would be better if Breitner turned it into a lady.
