About the Item

'Mediterranean Orange Grove' by Viggo Rorup, 1967. Paris Modernist, Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts ------- Signed lower left, 'V. Rorup' for Viggo Julius Rorup (Danish, 1903-1971) and dated 1967. A substantial, Post-Impressionist landscape showing a view of the Mediterranean with blossoming orange trees and apple trees in the foreground, framing a distant view of the azure ocean beneath a lilac and ivory sky. A lyrically robust work that exemplifies Rorup's characteristic, painterly brushwork, elegantly expressed in a soft pastel palette of moss, teal, lavender. Viggo Rorup was still a student at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts when he made his 1928 debut at the Free Exhibition at the Charlottenborg Palace. Following his graduation in 1930, he moved to Odsherred, where he continued his studies under Karl Bovin. Together, they formed the foundation of the avant-garde group of Modernists, The Corner, that first introduced the principles of Modernism to Danish painting. Rorup traveled widely, including to Italy, Austria, Spain, and most importantly to France, where his studies of the Impressionists and the Post-Impressionists had a great stylistic impact on his later work. His palette grew brighter, and his earlier defined contours were subsumed into the nuances of light. We are pleased to offer a dazzling work from the artist's late period, that exemplifies these later qualities of his mature work, harmoniously capturing the warmth and color of a southern summer landscape.
