Susanne 1906

"Susanne" is a painting by Oluf Hartmann, a Danish artist who died tragically young at the age of 31 in 1910. This small oil-on-canvas piece, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a woman in the midst of a dramatic moment. Hartmann's expressive brushstrokes and the dark, shadowy background create a sense of urgency and heightened emotion, characteristic of his short but influential career. The painting showcases Hartmann's ability to capture the raw energy and intimacy of human interaction, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
