What’s Going On In Copenhagen 1899

"What’s Going On In Copenhagen," painted in 1899 by Danish artist Paul Fischer (1860-1934), captures the bustling energy of a Copenhagen street scene. Fischer’s realist style depicts a cross-section of daily life, from well-dressed citizens to working-class figures, all navigating the cobblestones. The artist’s attention to detail, including the streetcar, bicycles, and horse-drawn carriages, provides a glimpse into the city's transportation systems at the turn of the 20th century. The painting's lively composition and vibrant color palette create a sense of movement and activity, conveying the dynamic energy of the city.
