Thorald Læssøe, 1839 - Valløby Chruch, Zealand - fine art print

Artwork description as provided by the museum's website (© - Thorvaldsens Museum - Thorvaldsens Museum)

Læssøe was a member of the circle around Lundbye. With this composition he is particularly close to Lundbye’s Dolmen at Raklev, Røsnæs, which is in the possession of the museum. In Læssøe, the burial mound has been replaced by the high-lying Valløby Church in southern Zealand. The church looks as though it stands alone, but that was not so in reality. The motif is simply seen from the south-east and is cut by the artist in such a way that the village to which it belongs falls outside the left edge of the picture. This is an extremely dramatic picture. There is a contention between light and dark. On the right the sun is shining over Køge Bay – on the left sombre clouds are producing a brilliant rainbow. With its tower and its typical Renaissance gable shining in the rays of the rising sun against a background of a dark sky, the church acts as a kind of shelter for the light – a fortress of light and faith.

Important note: We try our best in order to depict the art products with as many details as possible and to demonstrate them visually on the different product detail pages. Still, the colors of the print materials, as well as the imprint might diverge marginally from the representation on your device's monitor.
