About the Item

Early naturalistic nautical painting by Danish painter Niels Peter Bolt. Known for his still life paintings of large floral bouquets, this work is a testament to his artistic range. The work features a large whaling ship with two crews in smaller boats in the foreground. While no whales are visible in the painting, it is clear the the crews are fighting against the waves to stay afloat as the ocean churns. Signed and dated in the front lower right corner. Currently hung in a carved wooden frame. Dimensions Without Frame: H 39.5 in. x W 59.5 in. Artist Biography: Niels Peter Bolt (1886–1965) was a Danish painter. After studying under Johan Rohde at Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler, he became a member of De Tretten where he exhibited in 1909 and 1912. His work is characterized by metallic hues and a flamboyant style. His approach is best represented by his colourful pastels of large bouquets. Bolt also held solo exhibitions in 1913 and 1928 and exhibited at Charlottenborg from 1916 to 1939.
