Jan Weissenbruch Paintings in GeocodedArt

View of the Wall Houses at the Thieves Tower in Amersfoort

Painting by Jan Weissenbruch (1822-1880).  The crisp architectural style is quite distinct from that of his cousin's looser landscape work.  He did not pick the most imposing civic structures as his subjects, though they all include recognizable features.  His viewpoints are always such that a feeling for average street life is appreciated.

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.

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.

Pieter Gerard Vertin paintings in Geocoded Art

View of the Marekerk, Leiden

Painting by Pieter Gerard Vertin (1819-1893).  This artist produced many works that highlighted the typical architecture of Dutch cities and towns, usually in a style did not add much drama to the scene.  They were not images that you would remark that they captured a particularly beautiful day, and he did more wintry and snowy scenes than most vedute painters.

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.
