Henry Madsen 1904

"Henry Madsen" is an oil painting created by Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi in 1904. The painting depicts a close-up portrait of Henry Madsen, a close friend of the artist. Hammershøi's masterful use of muted tones and subtle brushstrokes capture Madsen's contemplative expression and creates an intimate atmosphere. The painting, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, exemplifies Hammershøi's signature style of realism, known for its focus on everyday life and quiet moments of introspection.
