Studie til Diogenes 1879 - 1910

"Studie til Diogenes" (Study for Diogenes) is a charcoal drawing by Oluf Hartmann, a Danish artist, who created this work between 1879 and 1910. The drawing depicts figures in a dark space, their features are vaguely defined, but the artist's attention to detail and use of contrast create a sense of depth and drama. Hartmann's expressive lines and dynamic composition are reminiscent of the Symbolist movement, emphasizing the subjective experience and emotional response to the subject. The work, now housed at SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, is an example of Hartmann's artistic exploration, offering a glimpse into his creative process and style.
