Interior in Strandgade with the Artist's Wife, 1902

Vilhelm Hammershøi

Oil on canvas

A woman turned away in a hushed grey Copenhagen room, still as held breath.

Hammershøi turned his own Copenhagen flat into quiet poetry: bare walls, grey light, a woman seen from behind. This hushed, almost photographic stillness has made the Danish painter a favourite of anyone drawn to calm, muted, contemplative interiors.
