Lundbye’s paintings seem to exude raw emotion. He loved the sensual immediacy of animals but, in turn, Lundbye (1818-1848) feared the animal in man. In his paintings of landscapes and farm scenes, for example, people are ominously absent. In fact, his fascinating paintings seem to possess a national demonic power in their stark naturalism. A great introduction to Lundbye’s lifework, unfortunately cut short by his early death.
