Giving this piece another bump as this gorgeous exhibition closes on Sunday! #Art #ArtSky #AnnaAncher
Back at the ANNA ANCHER: PAINTING LIGHT exhibition today for another look before it closes on 8th March. Very highly recommended if you can get to Dulwich Picture Gallery! #Art #ArtSky #AnnaAncher #London
Perfect day #AnnaAncher in my local #DulwichPictureGallery ❤️
Sunlight as it slips through and settles gently on everyday life, she turned simple interiors and ordinary moments into something timeless and luminous. She painted not drama, but depth: warmth, faith, womanhood, all glowing from within.
Beauty streamed into my hand/In sunlight through a pane of glass/I have held a shadow, cool/Reflection of a burning gold/And it has been more beautiful/Than hands should hold

Interesting use of light by Danish female painter Anna Ancher Dulwich Picture Gallery #painter #female #light #danish #annaancher
Giving this another bump as it’s proving to be a popular post! #Art #ArtSky #AnnaAncher #London
Another day of kulcher down the smoke, this time to see the excellent (if rather small)ehibition of paintings by the Danish artist Anna Ancher at the Dulwich Picture Gallery.
The young Nigel Farage used to visit there during his lunch hour when he wasn't being rude to his classmates...
#AnnaAncher
The First and long overdue exhibition of the work of Danish artist Anna Ancher in the UK ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #annaAncher #Dulwichpicturegallery #art #femaleartists #danishart #denmark #skagen @dulwichgallery.bsky.social
A painting shows a woman with black top and red skirt in a humble 19th century kitchen with a stone flag floor; she is standing at the kitchen window with her back to us and is largely silhouetted by yellow sunlight shining through a thin curtain
A panting of a small blonde girl - the artist’s daughter - sitting on the centre chair of three, between two tall windows through which bright sunlight shines. She is turned away from us, preoccupied in play or handicraft. Shadows from the windows are cast on the blue wall that faces us.
A painting of a woman in a 19th century parlour; she sits on a dark yellow chaise longue reading a book that rests on the polished wooden table in front of her, her head is resting on her right hand. Light enters from the left of the painting, illuminating a large vase of red poppies on the table, some petals from which have fallen on it.
On a day cold enough to be Scandinavian, a trip with Mrs H to @dulwichgallery.bsky.social to see the exhibition of Danish artist #AnnaAncher ‘Painting Light’ 🖼️
‘The Maid In The Kitchen’ (1883-6) | ‘Sunlight In The Blue Room’ (1891) | ‘Interior With Red Poppies’ (1905)

The Maid in the Kitchen 1883-86 Oil on canvas Here, we witness the beginnings of Ancher's distinctive approach to light. The woman depicted has her back to the viewer. The light, filtered through a yellow-cream curtain, places the top-half of her figure almost in silhouette. This work recalls Dutch seventeenth-century interiors, including those by Johannes Vermeer (1632-75), who often depicted private spaces occupied by lone female figures. The year before Ancher began this painting, she had taken her first trip abroad, travelling to Berlin, Dresden, Vienna and Munich. The historic artworks she saw likely inspired her to produce this work. It was selected for a London exhibition of Danish painters in 1907, and this is the first time it has returned to the UK since.
Study of a Seamstress in Blue c.1899 Oil on canvas, glued on card Ancher travelled to France for the first time in 1885 and again, staying for longer, in 1889. There, she was able to visit exhibitions of impressionist and post-impressionist art, including works by Claude Monet (1840-1926) and Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). This painting demonstrates the impact of what she saw. She works quickly, with loose brushstrokes, painting colour-on-colour without any discernible drawn outlines. Most remarkable is her illustration of the light falling through the room's window, which casts squares of bright yellow onto the wall. Skagens Museum
Interior. Brondum's Annex c.1916 Oil on panel Ancher was born and raised in Brondum's Hotel, the guest house run by her parents. Even after she married and moved into her own house, she would spend significant time at the hotel - making it a frequent subject of her art. This is one of Ancher's rare paintings without figures. Her focus is on the way light enters and illuminates the space. The interior is predominantly rendered in shades of orange, but a green curtain has been added to the window in the background to provide contrast. The artist has experimented with varying brushstrokes, applying thick layers of paint to the sunlit areas. Skagens Museum
Sunlight in the Blue Room 1891 Oil on canvas This is regarded as one of Ancher's most important paintings. She depicts her daughter, Helga (1883-1964), within the 'Blue Room' of Brondum's Hotel, the guest house run by her parents. Diagonal rays of light dominate the painting's composition. This light becomes almost tangible, illustrated with thickly painted squares on the back wall of the room. When the painting was first exhibited in Copenhagen in 1892, it received mixed reactions. An anonymous critic in a national newspaper complained that certain artists had become 'too modern' and should leave their paintings at home in the private confines of their studio. Skagens Museum
Loved the ANNA ANCHER exhibition, which recently opened at Dulwich Picture Gallery.
She captured light in interior spaces so beautifully. #Art #ArtSky #AnnaAncher #London #Dulwich

A painting of dark blue or purple flowers in a blue and white vase on a small round table, covered with a white cloth, in a sunlight interior. To the right is an oval-backed chair, with the seat pointed toward the table. Beyond the table is a window, partially covered by translucent pale blue drapes on either side.

Liefde is niet, zoals de kunst, jaloers op zichzelf en dus maar aan weinigen geschonken. Aan ieder die liefde wil hebben, wordt ze gegeven, en als hij het werk op zich wil nemen haar aan te prijzen, dan zal het hem lukken ook.
Søren Kierkegaard, 1847
#AnnaAncher
Het is beslist waar wat er in de filosofie wordt beweerd, dat het leven naar achteren begrepen moet worden. Maar daarbij vergeten ze de andere stelling: dat het naar voren moet worden geleefd.
Søren Kierkegaard, 1843
#AnnaAncher
In de mogelijkheid lokt en trekt de eeuwigheid een mens, van de wieg tot het graf – als hij er tenminste voor kiest om te hopen.
Søren Kierkegaard, 1847
#AnnaAncher
In de wereld van de geest is het de lange duur waar velen op stuk lopen.
Søren Kierkegaard, 1847
#AnnaAncher
Het is een daad van liefde om te veronderstellen dat de liefde bij de ander aanwezig is.
Søren Kierkegaard, 1847
#AnnaAncher
Het besluit bezit een lieftallige eigenschap: zich om kleine dingen te bekommeren. Een boze opmerking inslikken, jezelf overwinnen door een klein ongemak op je te nemen, je werk net een beetje langer vol te houden, een lichte belediging vergeten.
Søren Kierkegaard, 1844
