Danish painter
Work period: 1879–1916

Title: Landscape, From Lejre
Object type: Painting
Description: Vilhelm Hammershøi’s landscapes often, as here, lack people. Instead his vision is focused on a few prominent features – the curved shapes of the fields, echoed by the rounded hills and verdant copses. Together with the white summer clouds, the landscape offers a sense of unimpeded, billowing rhythm. In 1905 Hammershøi painted a series of landscapes from the district of Lejre on Zealand in Denmark, which included this painting.
