About the Item

Hans Andersen Brendekilde (1857-1943) Painting “Girl in front of a farmstead in the snow”, oil on canvas, signed on the canvas lower right “HA Brendekilde”, dimensions with frame 61.5 cm in height and 74 cm in width. An exchange of letters from 1941 between a former owner of the painting and the artist has been preserved, in which she inquires with Brendekilde about the depicted farmstead and its location. In his reply, Brendekilde invites the writer to visit him in his studio on occasion and tells her about the farm depicted. The letters are written in Danish and also in a German translation. Hans Andersen Brendekilde * 07.04.1857 (in Odense) - † 30.03.1943 (in Jyllinge) 1871 - 1874 Apprenticeship as a carpenter and stonemason with Wilhelm Hansen in Odense 1877 trained as a flower painter with O. A. Hermannsen 1877 - 1881 Studied sculpture and painting at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts 1882 Debut at the Charlottenborg Autumn Exhibition 1883 - 1885 Regular stay at the Raagelund art colony 1884 Name change to the place name of his native village of Brendekilde 1885 - 1907 Workshop work in the pottery of Hermann A. Kähler From 1888 Production of his own frames 1889 Participates in the World Exhibition in Paris and illustrates the book Nissen by Vilhelm Bergsøes 1889 - 1890 Study trip to Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands 1893 Participates in the World's Fair in Chicago 1894 Illustration of the book The Night Watch by Henrik Pontoppidan 1894 - 1895 Study trip to Germany and Italy 1901 - 1904 Employed by Fyens Glasværk 1908 - 1909 Study trip to Italy since 1918 Retreat to Jyllinge 1922 - 1923 Study trip to Italy Brendekilde grew up in poor circumstances and began training as a carpenter and stonemason at the age of 14. After a preparatory course of several months in 1877 for the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Oluf August Hermannsen to become a flower painter, he began studying sculpture and later painting at the academy. In 1882 - one year after graduating - he made his debut at the Charlottenborg Autumn Exhibition. Born Hans Andersen, the painter changed his surname to the place name of his native village in 1884 to avoid any confusion with the distantly related Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen. From 1885 to 1907, Brendekilde worked in the pottery of Hermann A. Kähler, producing ceramic and glass sculptures. Although he had been carving picture frames since childhood, it was not until 1888 that he used his own frames for his paintings. Between 1889 and 1890, he embarked on an academy-sponsored study trip to Germany, France, Italy, Egypt, Syria and the Netherlands. A little later, in 1894 - 1895, he traveled to Germany and Italy again. From 1901 to 1904 he worked for the Fyens Glasværk. His last study trips took him to Italy between 1908 - 1909 and 1922 - 1923. From 1883, he regularly visited the Raagelund art colony, where he met H. P. Carlsen, Søren Lund and Julius Paulsen. From 1903, Brendekilde worked at Holckenhus - a studio association - where he worked together with Peter Severin as well as Marie Krøyer and Kristian Zahrtmann. These and other artists inspired him to imagine his works of art. Brendekilde's popularity is not only due to his social realist paintings, but also to his sculptures made of glass, copper and ceramics. A very talented craftsman, he made a decisive contribution to revolutionizing the Scandinavian understanding of design. Even as a child, he made his own picture frames, which incorporated elements of the paintings and thus merged with each other in terms of color. In doing so, he also revolutionized the framing of works of art.
