  George Hendrik Breitner
He also painted nudes, but Breitner was a grim man, so where nudes of other painters were beautiful, sensual and erotic, Breitners nudes were grim, grumpy and not sensual at all.
Because Breitner caused a small revolution of art in his own small country, he was, compared to Van Gogh, a very unknown painter abroad.
Breitner has also the honours of being one of the few dutch painters who is being referred to in a dutch saying in Amsterdam: when the streets of Amsterdam are gray and rainy, people of Amsterdam whisper grimly "Echt Breitnerweer" (Typical Breitnerweather).

 George Hendrik Breitner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Painter and photographer George Hendrik Breitner (September 12, 1857, Rotterdam - June 5, 1923, Amsterdam) was a member of the Dutch artist group known as 'De Tachtigers'('The Eighties') because of their artistic influence in the years of 1880, including painters like Isaac Israëls, Willem Witsen, and poets like Willem Kloos.
From 1876-1880 Breitner attended the Academy in the Hague where his extraordinary talent was rewarded on various occasions.
It is not impossible that Breitner's preference for cloudy weather conditions and a greyish and brownish palette resulted from certain limitations of the photographic material.

For Breitner, a member of the Eighties Movement, Amsterdam was an inexhaustible source of inspiration from the moment he moved there in 1886.
Breitner also altered other figures and details, making the scene more tranquil and bringing it more into line with the likely wishes of any prospective buyer.
With a muff held before her mouth and a veil over her face she seems to be striding resolutely straight off the bridge and into the museum gallery; she heads straight towards you, giving you the feeling that you should step aside to let her pass.
