@SuneAuken @tanyakaroli jeg troede lige jeg vidste hvad der blev snakket om, men ak.
Hvis de senere skal perspektivere til skildringer i tiden, så er #CarlBloch oplagt. (altså bare ud fra titlen). -
"Still Life with Fish," Carl Bloch, 1878.
Bloch (1834-1890) was a Danish Neoclassical painter. He started off painting genre scenes of everyday rural life, but expanded into historical and religious works, and had letters of admiration from Hans Christian Andersen.
Although he was not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, his work is hugely influential on the denomination, who praise the lack of "Catholic" elements and imagery, and much Mormon art and media base themselves on Bloch's religious work.
This somewhat humorous scene, however, is from his more mature period. Bloch died young, of cancer, and his passing was considered quite a blow to the Nordic art world.
