Original – A company of Danish artists in Rome, painted by Constantin Hansen. Architect Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll is lying on the floor with a fez and pipe, Martinus Rørbye is sitting on the floor, beside, looking somewhat critical into his tiny coffe cup. Pet sitting on chair. The painter himself is sitting behind them in the other chair. Wilhelm Marstrand, Albert Küchler, Ditlev Blunck are on the balcony and Jørgen Sonne is sitting on the table. - Just click on the image - a yellow frame is coming up with the painter's name in enlarged version.

Reason

Rather high EV. This is the generation of Danish artists before the Skagen Painters. Danish are the most friendly of all Sandinavians, like to socialize and do things together, the Danish gemytlighet is an iconic notion, ( = friendly temperament and cheerful disposition). Well, not that these guys look very cheerful here, but it is probably the seriousness of Art Questions they debate.
