The story behind the motif
Poster with the beautiful painting View from the artist's room, created in 1825 by the Norwegian-Danish painter Martinus Rørbye.
Around the middle of the 1820s, Rørbye found itself in a time of transition on several levels. On a personal level, he was about to leave his childhood home where this view from the drawing room window was painted. On the professional level, he began to supplement his studies at the Academy with further schooling from the idealist Eckersberg.
Through the painting , Rørbye has captured various symbols. The windowsill reflects flowers in various stages of growth the stages of human life: The small cutting on the right is balanced by the blooming hydrangea and the partially withered flower in the center of the image. Out in the harbor the flowers are matched by three warships: the middle ship is still under construction, the right has no rigging, leaving only the ship on the left seaworthy. During Romanticism, open windows and ships at sea became popular themes with symbolic undertones.
Artist: Martinus Rørbye | Created: 1825.
