Pintura: Portrait of Frederik
1832 Oil on canvas, 42 x 38 cm Hirschsprungske Samling, Copenhagen A plant is a significant presence in the portrait that the leading Danish painter of the age, Christen K?bke, painted of his friend Frederik S?dring (1809-62) on his birthday in 1832. The smiling, ruddy cheeked landscape painter is seated palette in hand. The vigorous ivy in a pot behind him has a multiple purpose, standing for the friendship that binds artist and sitter, and the creativity that enables him to mediate between nature and the ideal - represented respectively by the pictures of a cow and of Roman ruins pinned to the wall. Once again, while adopting the organic image of creativity common to Romanticism, K?bke's picture presents a wholesome, outgoing impression of the artist's life.
