Michael Therkildsen, Landscape With Bull & Thatched Buildings

c. 1910

About the Item

This early 20th-century oil painting by Danish artist Michael Therkildsen (1850-1925) depicts a rural landscape with a standing bull, resting cattle, chickens and thatched buildings. It’s skillfully rendered and demonstrates the artist’s keen understanding of anatomy. The cottage in the upper right, which is nestled into trees, is also a charming addition. Hans Michael Therkildsen was an accomplished Danish painter of landscapes, rural scenes, interiors and animals. He trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and later under Laurits Tuxen and Frans Schwartz at the Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler. His works are held in numerous public collections. Monogrammed in the lower left and held within a gilt frame. Provenance: Private collection, Denmark.

  • Christian Berthelsen, Village Landscape With Thatched Cottage & Storks
    Located in Cheltenham, GB
    This charming 19th-century oil painting by Danish artist Christian Berthelsen (1839-1909) depicts a village scene with storks nesting atop a timber-framed dwelling. Is it simply a gentle portrayal of idyllic family life? Or does it allude to a sinister fairy tale by a well-known Danish author? Berthelsen was born on the small picturesque island of Føhr, where most families worked the land and lived in villages peppered with quaint thatched cottages. Amid these rural communities, children became familiar with various folk stories including those told so menacingly by the author Hans Christian Andersen. In 1839, the year Berthelsen was born, Andersen published ‘Storkene’, a typically macabre tale involving a family of storks. It begins: "On the last house...
