The Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi’s exquisite art has long captivated scholars and critics, and his international popularity has grown rapidly in recent years. This book features a selection of 24 paintings from one of the most important Hammershøi-collections in the world: the collection of SMK – The National Gallery of Denmark. The paintings cover many aspects of Hammershøi’s body of work, including several of the tranquil interiors that earned him the title “de stille stuers maler” (the painter of quiet rooms). The selection is representative of Hammershøi’s four main genres: reduced landscapes, unpopulated cityscapes, portraits, and spare, sunlight infused interiors – offering an intimate look into his life and enigmatic art.

This catalogue focuses on the 24 pieces from the Hammershøi-collection at SMK and includes a foreword by Mikkel Bogh, an article by Kasper Monrad, poems by Naja Marie Aidt and Sophus Claussen, 24 full paged pictures and a complete list of Hammershøi’s work in the collection of SMK. The catalogue contains both Danish and English text.
