Alfred Cornelius Howland (1838–1909) was an American painter known for his landscapes and genre scenes, which often depicted serene rural settings and everyday life. Among his notable works are "Near Rotterdam" and "Near Amsterdam," two paintings that capture the tranquil beauty of the Dutch countryside. These works reflect Howland's keen observation and appreciation for the subtleties of nature, as well as his ability to convey a sense of place and atmosphere.

"Near Rotterdam" and "Near Amsterdam" are exemplary of Howland's style, which combines elements of the Hudson River School with influences from his European travels. Howland studied at the Düsseldorf Academy and later in Paris, where he was exposed to the Barbizon School's emphasis on naturalism and plein air painting. This blend of American and European techniques is evident in the detailed yet atmospheric quality of these paintings.

In "Near Rotterdam," Howland presents a serene landscape featuring a winding river, lush greenery, and distant windmills, capturing the quintessential Dutch scenery. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with a soft, diffused light that enhances the peaceful mood of the scene. The meticulous attention to detail in the foliage and water reflects Howland's skill in rendering natural elements with precision and sensitivity.

Similarly, "Near Amsterdam" showcases Howland's ability to depict the Dutch landscape with authenticity and charm. This painting features a pastoral scene with grazing cattle, a meandering stream, and expansive skies. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension, drawing the viewer into the tranquil setting. Howland's brushwork is both delicate and expressive, capturing the textures and colors of the natural environment.

These works not only highlight Howland's technical proficiency but also his deep appreciation for the landscapes he encountered during his travels. "Near Rotterdam" and "Near Amsterdam" stand as testament to Howland's ability to convey the serene beauty of the natural world, making them significant contributions to American landscape painting.
