Paul Cornoyer Paintings in GeocodedArt

Late Afternoon, Washington Square

Painting by Paul Cornoyer (1864-1923). Cornoyer works are frequently framed with veiny, willowy trees, and the trees are most often bare; he painted more winter scenes in New York than any other painter.
  In this view there is foliage that is drinking in the early season warmth, and is appears to be getting transferred into the street life below.

George Hendrik Breitner Paintings in GeocodedArt

The Toren of Gorkum

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

View of Haarlem from the Dunes

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

The Montelbaanstoren, Amsterdam

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.

Oene Romkes de Jongh Paintings in GeocodedArt

A view of Amsterdam

Painting by Oene Romkes de Jongh (1812-1896). A prolific painter of town scenes in Amsterdam, most often without the specific location included in the title of the work.  His many works are curiously monochromatic: brownish buildings against a drab sky.  Somehow they did not possess the charm and vitality for him that they did for the great originators of the Dutch tradition of painting cityscapes.

Salomon van Ruysdael paintings Geocoded

A Ferry Boat near Arnheim

Painting by Salomon van Ruysdael (1629-1681). One of a distinguished family of painters, his prolific work is almost exclusively landscapes, most featuring the great billowing clouds that sweep across the dead flat Low Countries.  A minority of the titles of the works identify the location specifically, and in the image any landmark is to be found in a distant steeple which acts as something of a pin market on the land.  The exception to this painting of "general river scene" is the great works of the unmistakable Valkhof at Nijmegen.

Jan ten Compe paintings in GeocodedArt

View on the Excise tower in Alkmaar

painting by Jan ten Compe (1713-1761). His townscapes are not romanticized, but celebrate the pride and joy of quiet Dutch industriousness: tidy towns that provide a good way of life for eminently civilized people.

View of Dordrecht at Sunset

painting by Aelbert Cuyp (1620-1691). An artist most known for works that feature handsome livestock, Cuyp often used recognizable town features as a backdrop, and on occasion did a proper cityscape.  His favorite subject was the venerable city of Dordrecht, and he painted it in many moods, though none so lovingly as this example.

Vetheuil paintings in GeocodedArt

Effect of Snow at Vétheuil

painting by Claude Monet (1840-1926).  Before Monet did his famous repeat studies of the doors of the Rouen cathedral in varieties of lighting, and before the studies of haystacks, he painted a dozen images of the town, river banks, and especially the Church at Vétheuil.  Not many artists had a commitment to capture in art a view of a place on a day and in conditions that most residents of the place would rather forget.

Alfred Sisley paintings Geocoded

Villeneuve-la-Garenne

Painting by Alfred Sisley (1839-1899). Sisley's most recognizable works, those around Moret-sur-Loing, were a departure in subject matter from his long-standing style: no figures are included in most of his images, nor are the great landmarks of France. More often than not the pleasing vistas along the riverbanks that he so frequently painted did not include identifiable landmarks, and yet they were usually named very specifically by place,

Jean Beraud paintings in GeocodedArt

Le Pont Neuf

Painting by Jean Beraud. Beraud painted views of life on the streets of Paris of his day, and its interiors, in addition to portraits. The style was realistic, almost to the point of photographic, but the scenes are not entirely realistic in that all of the people shown are well to do and seem to be enjoying their lives.

Corot paintings in Geocoded Art

Seine and Old Bridge at Limay

Painting by JBC Corot (1796-1875)   Corot was  highly accomplished in portraits as well as one of the most influential landscape painters.  While a few of his landscapes served the traditional function of a vehicle for framing legendary stories, he paved the way for paintings to be appreciated for what they show of a scene in the present.

It is very much like Corot to tramp to this island spot to best depict the noble form of the old bridge. Its geometry contrast with the glassy water. An artist always makes conscious and unconscious choices about what to include in an image, and in this case the vantage point does not include the spans of the old bridge that are missing.
