Hammershøi, a very unique painter, is best known for his interiors. However, he also painted figures and landscapes in color, which almost seems like black and white; he truly knew how to portray the Danish landscape, subtle and beautiful. He was critically acclaimed during 1982/83, when this retrospective exhibition was shown.
