LONDON.- ‘Christen Købke: Danish Master of Light’ is
the first monographic exhibition of paintings by Christen Købke (1810–1848) ever
to be shown outside Denmark. Købke is arguably one of the
greatest talents of Denmark’s Golden Age, yet a solo exhibition of his work
outside his homeland has eluded him until now. This show will comprise
48 of Købke’s most beautiful and distinguished works spanning a variety of
genres: landscape, topography, portraiture and his charmingly oblique depictions
of national monuments informed by a decidedly avant-garde sensibility.
