Description
|
|
|
|
Arguably the greatest painter of Denmark's "Golden Age," the period of the nation's supreme artistic achievement, Christen Købke (1810–1848) had the remarkable ability to invest even a simple town corner or patch of countryside with charm and delicacy. In his works he endowed ordinary people and places with a universal significance to create a world in microcosm. With 86 color plates, many filling the page, this book discusses Købke's achievement and also highlights the most innovative aspects of his work: his fascination with light and atmosphere, his originality, and his experimental outlook.
