Lot Essay

Niels Rasmussen Thykier is best known for his designs for decorative objects such as his highly stylised mid-20th century table lamps. His interest in highly effective but restrained artificial light is present in the current painting, which was exhibited alongside 5 other paintings by the artist in 1912.

The interior of Hagemanns Kollegium is depicted with Jens Ferdinand Willumsen’s painting (1904) in the centre of the room surrounded by diffused light and music. The composition of the painting is perfectly inkeeping with contemporary sources (fig. 1.).

Jens Ferdinand Willumsen (1863-1958) is best known for his painting (1912, SMK collection, Denmark), depicting his second wife, Edith Wessel, gazing across a monumental Alpine landscape. It is a work which encapsulates Symbolism and Vitalism.

Willumsen had originally depicted the subject in 1904, in a painting which was hung in the G.A. Hagemann’s Kollegium when it was established in 1908, and remains in place to this day. Hagemann refused to loan the painting to an international exhibition, and so Willumsen painted a second version in October 1912, which now hangs in the SMK, Copenhagen.
