1840 -1920 · Danish impressionism, animals and island light
Born in Copenhagen in 1840 into a cultured family, Theodor Philipsen was first interested in agriculture and animals before choosing painting. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and specialized in landscape and wildlife painting. His European travels gradually broadened his manner: Paris introduced him to naturalism and outdoor painting, while a stay in Italy in 1883 -1884 renewed his light and material. The meeting of Paul Gauguin, present in Copenhagen in 1884 -1885, encouraged him to release more color and touch. The meeting of Paul Gauguin, present in Copenhagen in 1884 -1885, encouraged him to release more color and touch. Philipsen frequently worked on the islands of Amager and Saltholm, near the capital. He observes cows, horses, paths, marshes and shores under specific times, without transforming the animal into a picturesque anecdote. The herd gives the landscape its weight, its rhythm and its scale. Its colorful shadows, its juxtaposed touches and its interest in atmospheric variations make it one of the main interpreters of Danish impressionism, but its art remains firmly anchored in the knowledge of the rural world. The "Theodor Philipsen" selection offers its own journey on this subject.
Philipsen does not place animals in the landscape: their walking, weight and breathing give the landscape its true structure.
