Emil Cordius Heinrich Orth
Emil Orth, Two fishermen laying nets near the shore.

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.

This painting, by Christian Berg (1893-1976) is quite interesting and unusual for his works. It is signed "Ch. Berg" and dated 1918.
