Dankvart Dreyer (b. Assens 1816, d. Barløse 1852)
“Egnen mellem Vejlsø og Skovbjerg Banker. Formiddag”. Landscape south of Silkeborg in Jutland. Morning. 1841–1842. Signed Dreyer. Oil on canvas. 92×123 cm.
Leo Swane, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of Dankvart Dreyer, 1921, no. 112.
Suzanne Ludvigsen, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of Dankvart Dreyer, 2008, no. 135, ill. voI 1 p. 66 and ill. and mentioned vol. 2 p. 164. Here, Suzanne Ludvigsen writes enthusiastically about the painting (in Danish): “A large and meticulously composed painting, rich in the fine details we recognize from earlier works. A winding stream reflects the summer sky in its clear waters. Green ferns, lush grass, cushions of heather, and hummocks crowned with flowering bilberry plants create a vibrant foreground. An additional pictorial element—no doubt intended to captivate prospective collectors—is a full-grown stag gazing out across his domain. Nor are the characteristically left-leaning trees absent: here, two graceful birches, and beyond them a sweeping view of the lake and the gentle Jutland landscape.”
Exhibited: Charlottenborg 1842 no. 88. Kunstforeningen, “Dankvart Dreyers Arbejder”, 1912 no. 52.
