    19th-Century Danish School

    River Landscape With Cottage

    This charming 19th-century Danish School oil painting depicts a winding river view with a timber-framed cottage.

    Nestled into dense woodland stands a rustic dweling with an ailing thatch, decrepit chimneys and a creaking barn door. An ancient tree towers above it, leaning across a bend in the mossy river. The inhabitants live off the land and use a small boat to navigate the waterway. Life is arduous despite their picturesque surroundings.

    During the mid to late 19th century, Danish artists sought to abandon the overblown romantic emphasis of the previous decades in favour of highlighting the realities of those who lived in rural settings. Thus creating a poignant juxtaposition of hardship and abundant natural beauty.

    Held within a period gilt frame.
