Two Boleti 1838

"Two Boleti" is a small-scale oil painting on canvas by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich, created in 1838. This intimate still life, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases two bolete mushrooms, their fleshy forms rendered with striking detail and a sense of naturalism. Frølich's meticulous brushstrokes capture the texture and form of the mushrooms, highlighting the subtle variations in their surfaces. This painting exemplifies Frølich's interest in depicting the beauty of the natural world, a theme that frequently appeared in his work.
