"Maleren" 1778 - 1780

"Maleren", a satirical print by Danish artist Georg Christian Schule, depicts a painter at work. Created between 1778 and 1780, the artwork showcases the artist's humorous take on the life of a painter. Schule's use of caricature, evident in the exaggerated features and the cluttered studio setting, highlights the painter's eccentricities. This print, part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, provides a glimpse into the social commentary and artistic humor prevalent during the late 18th century.
