Het Beurspleintje
From the late 1880s onwards Witsen increasingly sought his subjects in the city. Both in his etchings and paintings he emphasised the serene beauty of old Amsterdam. For him, unlike Breitner, human presence was of secondary importance.
From 1911 on Witsen had a floating studio. The view of the Old Exchange Square is seen from the waters of Rokin, before that street was filled in. Witsen both painted the scene and made an etching of it in 1912. Possibly this winter impression was inspired by the fact that a row of houses between Rokin and the Dam was pulled down in that year.
