Emil Cordius Heinrich Orth
South Funen Archipelago, People Fishing Next to The Shore. Oil on canvas, 1861.

1861

About the Item

A fine oil painting by Emil Cordius Heinrich Orth (1833-1919) depicting a woman and a man in a rowing boat near the shore laying out fishing nets on a sunny summer day. It is signed and dated "E. Orth 1861" The place is probably in the the South Funen Archipelago or Funen Archipelago which is the name for the waters south of Funen in Denmark where there are more than 55 islands, islets and islets. The archipelago is a vast, flooded Ice Age landscape, where only the highest hills rise above the water. The area is today a Unesco Global Geopark. Orth studied at the Academy in 1849 and later at some other places. In 1858 he won a silver medal. First he worked as a figure painter under the guidance of J. L. Lund and later N. Simonsen, but then switched to landscape painting, which became his actual field. He exhibited at the Art Salon in Charlottenlund 1858-1869. Orth also worked as photographer from 1863 and a landscape and prospect painter at the Royal Porcelain factory in Copenhagen from 1869. Orth's cultivated landscape paintings show influence from Christen Köbke. Orth´s early works are considered the best of which our painting is an example of. Measurements are without frame.

  • Goosander Birds On Ice Floes. Oil on Canvas 1918
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    A female and male Goosander bird on ice floes. In the center of the painting there is a smaller opening in the ice covered waters. This painting, by Christian Berg (1893-1976) is quite interesting and unusual for his works. It is signed "Ch. Berg" and dated 1918. Berg is mostly famous for his sculptures which was to become his signum works later in his life. He is known primarily for his abstract artworks. He was educated at the Technical School and Althin's painting school in Stockholm 1911–1914. In the years 1914–1917 he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and started with animal painting in the spirit of Bruno Liljefors. Our painting is from this period just after he finished his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1921, he studied in Berlin and Dresden which was followed by a trip to Egypt in 1925. In the same year he moved to Paris and had a studio on rue Guénégaud. He studied with André Lhote and his interest in cubism was awakened. Made sketch drawings at the free academies Colarossi and La Grande Chaumière and in 1927 he met the Swedish artist Erik Olson...

    A fine landscape with horses resting by some trees and some farmers working the soil by Frants Peter Diderik Henningsen (1850 - 1908). Oil on canvas. Signed with monogram "FH" and dated 1898. Henningsen was a Danish painter and draftsman. In 1870, he was admitted to C. V. Nielsen's drawing school and then the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, from which he received his graduation certificate in 1875. As early as 1874, he exhibited his first work, a portrait of actress Julie Sødring, and he was subsequently represented at almost all Spring Exhibitions. He exhibited at Charlottenborg between 1875-1905 and also did exhibitions in Stockholm, Berlin and Paris. He showed great skill in many different areas, e.g. portrait painting, animal painting, landscape painting, genre painting and illustrations. Immediately after the academy, he traveled with academy scholarships to Germany, later to France in 1877-1878, where he applied to Léon Bonnat's school in Paris, and from where in the spring of 1878 he made a trip to Spain together with P.S. Krøyer, Frans Schwartz...
