This exhibition
features more than 200 works by the leading Danish artists of the period
covered 1801-1864: Christoffer Eckersberg, Christen Købke, Martinus Rørbye and Constantin
Hansen…
The exhibition is well
put together and general notices on the different themes covered (the Art
studio, landscape open-air painting, travel paintings, interiors, etc.) as well as
for individual paintings are very detailed and interesting. The quality of the
paintings is high.
Unfortunately, with
the Covid 19 Lockdown, the museum is closed for the time being. Let’s hope that
the exhibition will re-open before it ends.
