From Copenhagen to the North Cape

Nordic Painting

Painters from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, from the Danish Golden Age to the early 1900s, at home and on their travels south. Hansen’s columns at Paestum framing a blue sky, Dahl’s Vesuvius in eruption, Fearnley’s waterfalls at Gudvangen, Balke’s North Cape by moonlight, Rørbye’s sentries on the Copenhagen ramparts at night, Hammershøi’s empty room with moonlight on the floor, and Zorn’s sitters in pink silk and black.
