This is my favorite danish painting. Look at the life and love that’s coming from her.
The woman is Marie Krøyer, the painter her husband P. S. Krøyer. This painting is from the beginning of their marriage, before everything went wrong. They were so happy. Where her husband later only painted her as a distant goddess, this painting is a happy, wild woman in love.
Years later her husband would be insane, she would have a child she didn’t know how to care for and lost painting dreams.
I can only advice to look her and her husband up, I love their paintings, but it’s such a sad story.
