An overcast sky filled with heavy dark clouds dominates the image. Waves are breaking on a beach, and a white lighthouse tower stands in the background. Shipwrecks are strewn on the coast and in the sea. A boat with figures in it is tossed by the waves, and other sailing vessels are on the horizon.

Fisherman Kræn Wollesen Mending the Net by Anna Ancher, 1892, Skagen Museum (Skagen, Denmark)

#ArtHistory #ModernArt #Realism #SkagenPainters
This painting depicts the fisherman Kræn Wollesen, a local figure from Skagen, Denmark, meticulously mending his fishing net. The scene is bathed in soft, natural light, characteristic of Ancher's style, and focuses on the everyday life and labor of the fishing community. The composition is intimate, drawing the viewer into the quiet concentration of the fisherman. The muted color palette and realistic depiction emphasize the harsh realities and humble dignity of life at sea. Ancher was a prominent figure in the Skagen Painters (Skagensmalerne) movement, a group of artists who gathered in Skagen, Denmark, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This movement was part of the broader Realist and Naturalist trends in European art, rejecting Romantic idealism in favor of depicting everyday life and the natural world with accuracy and honesty. The Skagen Painters were also influenced by Impressionism, particularly n their use of light and color. This work exemplifies the shift away from historical or mythological subjects between scenes of contemporary life.

"Woman Reading by a Window" by Jacob Sømme (Norwegian) - Oil on canvas / 1890 - Skagens Museum (Denmark) #WomenInArt #ArtText #art #OilPainting #PortraitofaWoman #WomensArt #Reading #JacobSømme #Sømme #JacobSomme #NorwegianArtist #artwork #SkagensMuseum #NorwegianArt #Skagensmalerne #ScandinavianArt
This 1890 painting by Norwegian artist Jacob Kielland Sømme depicts a mature woman seated in profile at a round table near a window. She is dressed in a long, light-colored dress and a dark, patterned scarf covering her head and shoulders. Her posture is slightly hunched as she concentrates on a book held in her hands. The woman wears glasses and appears to be middle-aged. The room is sparsely furnished. A wooden table with a reflective surface is in the foreground, near the window. Several potted plants sit on the windowsill, adding a touch of life to the scene. Behind the woman, there is a tall side table with a woven basket resting upon it. The room's walls are painted a deep blue, creating a cool, somewhat somber atmosphere. The window shows a view of a beach or coastal scene, with suggestions of buildings and sand in the distance. The light streaming in from the window creates a contrast with the dimly lit interior, highlighting the woman and her book. The overall mood of the painting is serene, pensive, and slightly melancholic. The loose, expressive brushwork suggests an impressionistic style, with a focus on capturing the light and atmosphere rather than precise detail. Sømme often painted scenes from everyday life in Skagen, including fishermen at work, beach scenes and landscapes. His paintings were popular with critics and collectors alike, and he received numerous awards and honors during his lifetime. Skagen was home to the Skagensmalerne (aka Skagen Painters), a group of Scandinavian artists who gathered in the village in the northernmost part of Denmark, from the late 1870s until the turn of the century. The artists shared the fact that they were inspired by naturalism and open-air painting and sought new places and motifs. Skagens Museum was founded in 1908 in order to collect and preserve the works of the Skagen artists’ colony in the environment in which they were created.

This painting, rendered in subdued pastel colors, shows a white lighthouse rising from among a small cluster of small red buildings on the shore of a calm sea. Most of the painting is taken up by the sky, in which a large, yellow, gibbous moon shines. In the foreground is a blue-green expanse, perhaps a field, ending in a beach by an inlet, on the opposite side of which the lighthouse stands.

Right?
The area I live in used to have the most beautiful lighting. There's even a whole artistic movement named after it (Skagensmalerne). But because there's so much traffic here now, it's always foggy and overcast and that light is gone

Den druknede - Michael Ancher, 1896.
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...
Michael Ancher, født 1849 i Rutsker på Bornholm, død 1927 i Skagen, var gift med Anna Ancher. De hørte begge til Skagensmalerne. Udgangspunktet når han malede var 'ting' fra virkelighedens verden, f.eks. skagensfiskernes liv.
