Jens Juel, 1800 - View of the Little Belt from Hindsgavl, Funen - fine art print

Original artwork information by the museum (© - Thorvaldsens Museum - Thorvaldsens Museum)

The paintings View across Lillebælt from Hindsgavl on Funen and View across Lillebælt from a Hill hear Middelfart are of the same size and were conceived as companion pieces. They both take their motifs from the Funen grounds of the mansion of Hindsgavl, close to Juel’s birthplace of Gamborg. And in one sense both are about masters and servants. It is assumed that the pictures were commissioned by the owner of Hindsgavl, Christian Holger Adeler, about 1799, but that Juel simply never managed to finish them. Adeler was one of the liberal landowners whose efforts led to the end of serfdom in 1788, and the pictures can be seen as expressing the development of the relationship between peasants and landowners at the end of the 18th century. View across Lillebælt from Hindsgavl on Funen represents the old order, in which the peasant must be chastised in order to conform and the place in the sun is reserved for the lord of the manor and his family. View across Lillebælt from a Hill near Middelfart, on the other hand, represents the new order in which the sun shines on peasants and landowners alike. The first picture is symmetrical like the gardens of the absolute monarchs; nature is kept at a distance by a neat fence. The other is asymmetrical; the natural world and the cultivated landscape mingle, and the different social classes live in harmony with each other. The paintings have always been owned by artists. The engraver G. L. Lahde bought them at the auction of Juel’s effects in 1803, and in 1843 his daughter sold them to Thorvaldsen.

Choose a material variant

For every art print we offer a range of different sizes and materials. Choose among the following product options now to match your preferences in size and material:

• Printed poster on canvas material: The poster print is a printed canvas with a fine surface finish, which reminds the actual artwork. It is perfectly suited for putting your art replica in a customized frame. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm around the painting to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with a true depth. Its non-reflective surface structure creates a contemporary impression. For the Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your favorite artwork right onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum composite. The bright & white parts of the artwork shine with a silky gloss but without any glow. The direct UV print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is a sophisticated way to showcase artworks, since it puts all of the viewer’s attention on the replica of the artwork.
• Canvas print: The canvas print, not to be mistaken with a real painting on a canvas, is a digital image printed from a UV direct printing machine. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. That means, it is easy and straightforward to hang your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. A canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.
• Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating on top): An print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes described as a UV print on plexiglass, changes your original into décor. With an acrylic glass fine art print contrasts as well as small details will be recognizeable thanks to the granular tonal gradation. The plexiglass protects your selected art print against sunlight and heat for many years to come.
