Sjælland, between sea, Danish light, and poetry
As the largest island in Denmark, Sjælland is the cultural and historical cradle of the country. Bordered by the Kattegat and Baltic Seas, it is home to Copenhagen, as well as peaceful villages, white cliffs, dense forests, and luminous coasts.
This land of contrasts, bathed in soft and changing light, has inspired many Danish painters from the Golden Age and modern periods. Sjælland embodies the discreet and balanced beauty of Scandinavian nature.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to Sjælland, as depicted by Christen Købke, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Johan Thomas Lundbye, L.A. Ring, Carl Bloch, Peder Severin Krøyer, and Harald Slott-Møller. These artists captured the luminous and peaceful soul of the island, blending poetic realism with Nordic silence.
The light of Denmark in your decor
Hanging an art print of Sjælland is like inviting the gentle and clear essence of the North Sea into your home. The art prints of Sjælland evoke coastal cliffs, sleepy villages, lush fields, and softly lit interiors.
These works perfectly complement Scandinavian, natural, or minimalist decor, bringing serenity and balance.
A coastal view by Lundbye, a silent interior by Hammershøi, or a maritime landscape by Krøyer will transform your walls into an invitation to contemplation.
Danish painting finds its purest source on the island of Sjælland: an art of light, calm, and everyday life.
The great painters of Sjælland
Christen Købke (1810–1848) painted the landscapes and fortifications of northern Sjælland with unparalleled precision and golden light.
Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916) conveyed Danish serenity through silent interiors bathed in subtle clarity.
Johan Thomas Lundbye (1818–1848) was among the first to celebrate the countryside of Sjælland and its harmonious nature.
Laurits Andersen Ring (1854–1933) depicted rural life and villages of the island with emotionally charged realism.
Peder Severin Krøyer (1851–1909) painted the Nordic light with rare Impressionist sensitivity.
Carl Bloch (1834–1890) brought a spiritual and narrative dimension to Danish painting.
Finally, Harald Slott-Møller (1864–1937) illustrated the fusion of symbolism and naturalism in the landscapes of Sjælland.
These artists made Sjælland a symbol of Denmark’s simple, luminous, and soothing beauty.
