  Panoramisch uitzicht op het IJ en de haven van Amsterdam. Hoewel Peizel bekend staat als conservatief, had hij in dit geval een zeer origineel standpunt: achter de gordijnen van een huiskamer. In de verte ligt het KNSM eiland met haar vele kranen, aan de linkerkant zijn de contouren van Amsterdam Noord te zien en aan de onderzijde de boten die ter hoogte van het Amsterdams Centraal Station in de haven liggen (tegenwoordig vertrekken hiervandaan sommige ponten van het GVB). En rijden auto's op de kade en er wandelen mensen tussendoor. Het schilderij lijkt vanuit een huiskamer ergens op de Prins Hendrikkade vervaardigd te zijn. Vermoedelijk ergens in de na-oorlogse jaren. Voorwaar een zalig schilderij van het Oostelijk Havengebied te Amsterdam.
• About the artist

  Bartele (Bart) Peizel, born on 6 August 1887 in Veendam, was a Dutch painter who became famous for his cityscapes, landscapes, still lifes and especially portraits. His style is described as quite traditional.

  As the son of teacher and journalist Kornelis Peizel, Bart started his career briefly in the banking sector in Almelo. However, his passion for painting brought him to the Academie Minerva in Groningen for an artistic education. In 1910 he continued his studies at the Rijksschool voor Kunstnijverheid and the Rijksnormaalschool voor Teekenonderwijzers in Amsterdam, where he obtained his MO drawing certificate in 1913.

  In 1917 Peizel married painter Thérèse Ansingh, the sister of Lizzy Ansingh, a prominent member of the Amsterdamse Joffers. This marriage introduced him to the Amsterdam artistic circles and brought him into contact with influential people who had their portraits painted by him. He became a member of various artists' associations in Amsterdam and The Hague and served as chairman of the Artists' Association Sint Lucas for 27 years. He also made study trips to France, Spain, Italy and Algiers to broaden his artistic horizons.

  Peizel's portraits are known for their detailed rendering, with special attention to the hands, which, according to him, often express the essence of the person portrayed more strongly than the face. His oeuvre also includes various cityscapes, including works that capture Amsterdam and Gouda. His painting "Kirchgang im Schnee (St. Janskerk, Gouda)" is an example of this.

  After the death of his wife in 1968, Peizel withdrew from public life. He died on 9 February 1974 in Amsterdam. His work is included in collections of, among others, the Van Abbemuseum, the Singer Museum in Laren and the Amsterdam Historical Museum.
