John Constable and Danish art

John Constable (1776-1837 )  A Farm Cart with two Horses in Harness 1814 (study)

and a Danish study by an artist, who really was able to catch the moods and spirits of both landscapes and animals


 Johan Thomas Lundbye (1818 - 1848) - Study of a standing cow c. 1840, Denmark

 John Constable - Hampstead Stormy Sky 1814

 and here a painting by a Danish artist, who normally is associated with picturing peasant life - farmers in traditional clothes. But he did so much more

Christen Dalsgaard (1824-1907) - By the Fjord 1851 - Limfjorden, Denmark


John Constable - Landscape with clouds


Christen Dalsgaard - Landscape near Skive1849, Jutland, Denmark


John Constable - A Hayfield near East Bergholt at Sunset 1812

To find anything like this in Danish art, we need to jump to the Skagen painters, the impressionists

Michael Ancher (1949-1927)  - Autumn landscape from Skagen
