The Garden of the Prince's Palace, Copenhagen 1905

"The Garden of the Prince's Palace, Copenhagen" (1905) by Danish artist Svend Hammershøi is a striking example of his signature style. The artwork captures the quietude of a winter garden, with bare trees casting long shadows across a verdant lawn. The muted palette of grays and browns adds to the sense of stillness, while the building in the background provides a sense of scale and urban context. This painting, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, reflects Hammershøi's fascination with light and atmosphere, and his ability to convey a profound sense of solitude within everyday scenes.
