Context: A leader of the Dutch Impressionists, George Hendrik Breitner based this painting on a series of photographs he took of a construction site in Amsterdam. Although the painting appears to have been painted rapidly on the spot, it was actually carefully constructed in the studio. With the help of his own photographs and sketches, Breitner forcefully portrayed a city in transition.
