George Hendrik Breitner Paintings in GeocodedArt
Painting by George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923). Breitner stuck with a dark, muted palette; his cityscapes particularly looked like days when the pedestrians would be happy to get home and be out of the weather. His many interiors and figure studies carried the same atmosphere inside.

Johan Weissenbruch Paintings in GeocodedArt
Painting by Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch (1824-1903). This artist painted a variety of scenes: interior and exterior, city and country, and did some portraits as well. The outdoor scenes were more likely not to be titled with a specific location, and those that are named tend not to be the recognizable landmarks painted by so many others in the Low Countries. In the variety of settings and subjects he painted, they might all be described as "moody".

Cornelis Vreedenburgh Paintings in GeocodedArt
Painting by Cornelis Vreedenburgh (1880-1946)
His work is uniformly sunny, and evidently optimistic, infused with all that makes Dutch life such a pleasure. There is a general haziness in place of sharp edges anywhere; the view always appears to be from the perspective of one whose eyes are half-closed in relaxed pleasure, enjoying the scene.
