George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) Dutch Painter

The Earring

Girl in Red Kimono

Born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Breitner attended the Academy in the Hague in 1876–1880. By the turn of the century Breitner was a famous painter in the Netherlands, as demonstrated by a highly successful retrospective exhibition at Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam (1901). Breitner travelled frequently in the last decades of his life, visiting Paris, London, and Berlin, among other cities. In 1909 he went to the United States as a member of the jury for the Carnegie International Exhibition in Pittsburgh.
Although Breitner exhibited abroad early on, his fame never crossed the borders of the Netherlands.
