Frants Henningsen, Landscape with Horses Resting and People Working on the Field

1898

About the Item

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 and Julius Lange. He showed especially at the Danish reign jubilee in 1888 and again at the royal couple's golden wedding celebration in 1892 a special talent for rendering large masses. Henningsen continued in his teacher's and father-in-law's, Frederik Vermehr's National Tradition. Many times paintings with motifs from the area around Gisselfeld depicting a farmers life and daily work. Henningse was also an excellent horse painter. After the artist Carl Bloch's death, Henningsen was appointed his successor as professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in 1890. Henningsen was assigned several positions of trust, i.a. he became a member of the Academy Council in 1887 and the Academy's Plenary Assembly in 1890. In 1892 he became a Knight of Dannebrog and in 1894 a Dannebrogman.

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

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.
