Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of approximately 2 - 6cm round about the print motif in order to facilitate the framing.

Important note: We try our best to depict our art products as precisely as possible and to illustrate them visually. Although, the colors of the print materials and the print result can vary to a certain extent from the image on the screen. Depending on the screen settings and the nature of the surface, not all colors are printed as realistically as the digital version shown here. Considering that the art reproductions are printed and processed manually, there may also be slight discrepancies in the exact position and the size of the motif.

English: New acquisition, June 2014: View of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome by Constantin Hansen Nationalmuseum has expanded its fine art collection with the acquisition of a view of Rome with the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in the foreground, painted in 1836 by the Danish artist Constantin Hansen (1804-1880). The oil sketch represents a type of painting that became common in the first half of the 19th century, when artists from northern Europe visited Rome in large numbers. They stayed for several years, developing their artistic sense and technical skill. A key part of their education involved immortalizing views like this in deftly executed oil sketches. Although many of the motifs were well known to the tourists of the time, the artists were equally likely to choose an insignificant view. Their primary goal was to practise depicting light and atmosphere as realistically as possible. The resulting works were therefore not specifically intended for sale or even for public display. In these works, the artists did not need to adhere to convention, but could allow themselves to be subjective in their portrayal. The motifs are often somewhat insignificant, with a perspective that does not immediately focus on what is expected. Instead, the motifs seem to be based on a personal fascination. In recent decades, oil sketches featuring Italian motifs have been increasingly sought after by museums and private collectors alike. A magical sense of calm hangs over Hansen’s view of the church of San Pietro in Vincoli, largely because the foreground is completely dominated by a quiet, deserted square. One possible explanation is that the artist associated the setting with personal experiences, rather than wishing to document the view as such. From the foreground, the viewer’s eye is directed down a steep street, between a walled garden at left and the church at right, to gaze out over the distant roofs of Rome through a bluish haze. It is easy to imagine how, from the spot where he was painting, the artist would have felt drawn first to the mysterious garden behind the walls, then to the cool, dark interior of the church, and finally to the city beyond, with its infinite number of alleyways teeming with life. For artists such as Constantin Hansen, sketches like this became treasured souvenirs, which they often kept for the rest of their life. It is conceivable that these paintings are considered so desirable today because of their fresh, realistic depictions. The intervening years are quickly blotted out, and contemporary viewers can easily share the artist’s experience of and fascination with this Roman scene. The donor, Mrs Ulla-Bella Sandberg (1926–2013), was a long-time member of the Friends of Nationalmuseum and bequeathed her entire estate to the museum. Combined with a generous donation from director Gunnar Hultmark, this bequest enabled the purchase of Constantin Hansen’s exquisite view of Rome. Nationalmuseum has no budget of its own for new acquisitions, but relies on gifting and financial support from private funds and foundations to enhance its collections of fine art and craft. Målningen föreställer en vy över Rom från en plats vid kyrkan San Pietro in Vincoli. Utförd under en av konstnärens vistelser i Italien. Månadens nyförvärv, Juni 2014 Vy av San Pietro in Vincoli i Rom av Constantin Hansen Ntionalmuseums målerisamling har utökats med en vy av Rom med kyrkan San Pietro in Vincoli i förgrunden, målad 1836 av den danske konstnären Constantin Hansen (1804-1880). Hans oljestudie representerar en typ av måleri som blev vanligt under 1800-talets första hälft när en rad konstnärer från norra Europa vistades i Rom. Där stannade man i flera år för att växa i konstnärlig mening och utveckla en teknisk skicklighet. Ett viktigt led var att i flyhänta oljestudier föreviga utsikter som denna. Även om motiven inte sällan var berömda bland dåtidens turister kunde konstnärerna lika gärna välja en oansenlig vy. Det primära syftet var istället en övning i att så naturtroget som möjligt framställa ljus och atmosfär. Resultatet var därför inte direkt avsett att säljas eller ens visas för publik. Här behövde konstnärerna inte ta hänsyn till konventioner utan kunde tillåta sig att bli subjektiva i sina framställningar. Motiven är ofta ganska oansenliga och med perspektiv som inte omedelbart sätter det förväntade i fokus. Istället verkar de bygga på en personlig fascination. Under de senaste decennierna har oljestudier med italienska motiv blivit alltmer eftertraktade bland såväl museer som privata samlare. Det vilar ett magiskt lugn över Constantin Hansens vy av kyrkan San Pietro in Vincoli, vilket mycket beror på att bildens förgrund helt domineras av en stillsam och ödslig plats. En möjlig förklaring är att konstnären själv förknippat miljön med egna upplevelser snarare än att han har velat dokumentera vyn i sig. Från förgrunden leds man in mellan en muromgärdad trädgård till vänster och kyrkan till höger längs en brant gata för att slutligen nå ut över taken i ett blånande, disigt Rom. Det är lätt att föreställa sig hur konstnären från punkten där han målat känt dragningskraften först från den hemlighetsfulla trädgården bakom murarna och sedan från de mörka, svala rummen bakom kyrkans fasader samt slutligen från stadens oändlighet av gränder och liv. För konstnärer som Constantin Hansen blev studier som denna till kära resminnen som de ofta behöll livet ut. En tänkbar förklaring till att dessa målningar är så åtråvärda idag är den friska framställningen och naturtroheten. Det stora tidsavståndet utplånas raskt och vår tids betraktare kan lätt dela konstnärens upplevelse och fascination av ett romerskt motiv. Givaren, fru Ulla-Bella Sandberg (1926-2013) var mångårig medlem av Nationalmusei Vänner. Hon testamenterade hela sin kvarlåtenskap till Nationalmuseum. Denna donation jämte gåvomedel från direktör Gunnar Hultmark möjliggjorde förvärvet av Constantin Hansens utsökta vy från Rom. Nationalmuseum har inga egna medel att förvärva konst och konsthantverk för utan samlingarna berikas genom gåvor och privata stiftelse- och fondmedel.
