About the Item
“The ploughed horses break”
Oil on canvas signed Michael Therkildsen, dated 1887.
Monogrammed bottom right M TH and dated 1887.
Danish school
Exhibited at the universal exhibition in Paris on 1889, under number 158 (see photo)
Won silver medal
This great painting shows a scene of the Danish peasant life in the nineteenth century. In a tree-lined meadow two men feed their horses. The overhead lighting indicates remarkable contrasts of color and light intensity. The coat of the horses is shiny and vibrant with light. The vegetation is treated with great accuracy and has many shades of color. Therkildsen is a true colorist and a sharp-minded painter focusing on rendering the details as true-like as possible. The costumes of the characters and the representation of their activities are real stories of rural activity at the time.
Michael Hans Therkildsen (1850-1925).
The son of a farmer, he very soon showed artistic talents which enabled him to enter the Royal academy of Copenhagen Beaux Arts. His real knowledge of the rural world helped him in his work, as his main subject remained the rural world.
From 1880 onwards he travelled to France to study, then to Luxemburg where he was inspired by paintings by Constant Troyon or Charles Emile Jacque and in Italy where he discovered the luminosity of the sky and the landscapes.
Some of his paintings can be found in Copenhagen (Staten Museum for Kunst, Hirschsprung Museum, Château D'Amalienborg).
On 1887, he was rewarded with the medal "Thorvalsen" by the Royal academy of Copenhagen, which allowed him to exhibit at the universal exposition of Paris on 1889.

Midday Rest
Oil on canvas, signed & dated (18)87
Image size: 11.5 inches x 17.5 inches
Size including frame: 20.25 inches x 26.25 inches
A pleasing landscape painting of a plough team at rest next to a barn by Thomas Blinks. Three horses are shown eating hay from a cart in the shade of a barn. Two figures and a dog are also depicted taking their repast. On the left of the scene, open fields can be seen through a gate whilst in the far distance a church and other buildings can be made out on the brow of a hill.
Thomas Blinks was born in Maidstone, Kent on 29 October 1853 to Richard Blinks and Eleanor Poile. His father was a master butcher in Ticehurst and the family lived above the shop, which is still operates as a butchers today. Thomas initially worked for his father but his talent for art soon took him in another direction.
He married Louisa Anne Winterbottom on 11 April 1874, at Rye, Sussex and together they had 3 children. They lived in Hawkhurst, Kent before moving to Hackney, London in 1878. Whilst largely self- taught, Blinks would have learnt basic anatomy from working with his father, but he also spent time at Tattersalls canine and horse auctions...
