The Northern Drawbridge to the Citadel in Copenhagen
Artist: Christen Kobke (Danish, 1810 - 1848)
Original Dimensions: 17 3/8" x 25 5/8"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (1837) "Located just outside Copenhagen, the Citadel (Kastellet) was a former military fort where Christen Købke and his parents lived from 1819 to 1833, although Købke often returned there to paint. He painted this view in 1837, possibly for his mother as a souvenir of their former home. This picture shows a drawbridge (that no longer exists) outside the north gate of the Citadel, which crosses a moat to a guardhouse. Købke made a number of preliminary sketches and an oil study on location before working up the final painting in his studio. Bathed in an evening light, with a hint of pink in the sky, the view is suffused with tones of the complementary colours red and green. The accurate rendering of the intricate manmade structure recalls the work of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, his teacher at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, but Købke is also expressing nostalgia for the place where he grew up." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
