Stående mandlig model 1910

"Stående mandlig model" (Standing Male Model), painted in 1910 by Danish artist Joakim Skovgaard, showcases a nude male figure in a simplified, almost geometric form. Skovgaard's work often reflected his interest in classical art, and the figure in this piece is presented with an idealized, almost sculptural quality, against a minimal background, highlighting the contour and form of the body. The painting is a testament to Skovgaard's meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of the human form. Currently on display at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, the artwork exemplifies Skovgaard's artistic vision and provides a fascinating glimpse into the study of the human body in early 20th-century art.
