Le siècle d'or de la peinture danoise
The distinctive light, the apparent simplicity in its portraits and an overwhelming fascination with landscapes are the major characteristics of 19th-century painting in Denmark.
A French collector, enamoured with the Danish school, acquired in just a few years over two hundred paintings spanning the entire century. The collection features almost all of the artists of the time, including Abilgaard, Eckersberg, Lundbye, Melbye and Rorbye.
