Copenhagen, the Nordic gem and Denmark's artistic capital
Between sea and light, Copenhagen perfectly embodies Scandinavian spirit: sobriety, elegance, and harmony. Bathed by the canals of Nyhavn, illuminated by the gentle northern light, and marked by its colorful architecture, the Danish capital has inspired painters for over two centuries.
A city of art, design, and culture, Copenhagen is the birthplace of some of the greatest artists of the Danish Golden Age, captivated by its clarity and calmness.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to Copenhagen, as it has been glorified by Christen Købke, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Peder Severin Krøyer, Carl Holsøe, Constantin Hansen, Anna Ancher, and Johan Thomas Lundbye.
Their delicate gaze captured the soul of a city both peaceful and luminous, where each facade, each window, each ray of light becomes poetry.
Nordic softness in your decor
Hanging an art print of Copenhagen means bringing into your home the clarity, serenity, and warm subtlety of the North. The art prints of Copenhagen evoke peaceful streets, sunlit canals, minimalist interiors, and silvery reflections on the city’s rooftops.
These works perfectly complement a Scandinavian, contemporary, or natural decor, bringing balance, calm, and light.
A København urban landscape, a quiet interior by Hammershøi, or a summer scene by Krøyer will infuse your walls with the purity and poetry of Denmark.
The Copenhagen painting celebrates everyday life, silence, and light — these three pillars of Nordic art.
The great painters of Copenhagen
Christen Købke (1810–1848), a major figure of the Danish Golden Age, painted with luminous precision the historic districts of Copenhagen, the ramparts, and sunlit rooftops.
Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916), master of silent light, transformed Danish interiors into poetic compositions of timeless modernity.
Peder Severin Krøyer (1851–1909), a member of the Skagen group, captured the softness of Nordic evenings and elegant scenes of life.
Carl Holsøe (1863–1935) continued this quest for inner calm with subtle plays of shadow and light.
Constantin Hansen (1804–1880) brought a neoclassical and humanist touch to 19th-century Danish painting.
Finally, Anna Ancher and Johan Thomas Lundbye celebrated the simplicity and beauty of everyday life in Denmark.
Together, they gave Copenhagen an artistic identity made of light, serenity, and softness.
