Wikipedia, Dec. 08, 2014 (George Hendrik Breitner; born 12 September 1857 in Rotterdam; died 5 June 1923 in Amsterdam; Dutch painter and photographer. An important figure in Amsterdam Impressionism, he is noted especially for his paintings of street scenes and harbours in a realistic style. He painted en plein air, and became interested in photography as a means of documenting street life and atmospheric effects- rainy weather in particular- as reference materials for his paintings)
