From Christianshavn’s Canal, Copenhagen 1905

"From Christianshavn’s Canal, Copenhagen" (1905) by Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916) is a minimalist depiction of a harbor scene. This painting, typical of Hammershøi’s style, features muted colors and subtle brushstrokes creating a peaceful atmosphere. The composition focuses on the masts of several boats, with a distant brick wall and a hazy sky in the background. Hammershøi's work often evokes a sense of solitude and contemplation, capturing the quiet moments of daily life in Copenhagen.
