Painting Description
"London bij avond" (London by Evening) is an etching by the Dutch painter and photographer Willem Witsen (1860–1923), who was a prominent figure in the Amsterdam Impressionism movement. This work is part of Witsen's oeuvre that captures urban landscapes and cityscapes, reflecting his fascination with the mood and atmosphere of modern city life at the turn of the 20th century.
Created during Witsen's time in London in the 1890s, "London bij avond" depicts a quintessential evening scene in the city, characterized by the play of light and shadow, the reflections on wet streets, and the silhouettes of figures and architecture. The etching is noted for its technical skill and the way it conveys the ambience of London during the period, with a particular focus on the effects of industrialization and the enveloping fog that was so characteristic of the city at the time.
Witsen's work is often compared to that of his contemporaries in the Tachtigers (the Eighties group), a Dutch artistic and literary movement that sought to capture the essence of modern life. His etchings, including "London bij avond," are praised for their poetic interpretation of everyday scenes and their contribution to the graphic arts in the Netherlands.
"London bij avond" is not only a representation of Witsen's artistic vision but also serves as a historical document of London's urban landscape in the late 19th century. The etching is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that showcase Dutch art from the period. It remains a significant piece within Witsen's body of work and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of Dutch Impressionism and European printmaking.
