A Lumpfish 1894 - 1910

"A Lumpfish" is a black and white oil painting by Danish artist Oluf Hartmann, created between 1894 and 1910. The painting, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a lumpfish in a realistic yet stylized manner. The artist’s use of thick impasto and bold brushstrokes contributes to the painting's textural quality. Hartmann's focus on the details of the fish's form and its surrounding environment reflects the naturalist tendencies of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
