Janus la Cour (b. Ringkøbing 1837, d. Odder 1909)

Hilly landscape by a lake. Signed and dated J. L. C. June 1861. Oil on canvas. 33×57 cm.

Lars Morell “200 års kunst i Aarhus” s 291. Den bedste maler i Aarhus nogen sinde er Janus la Cour - han var en af de få, der satsede alt. Han var ikke manio-depressiv som P.S. Krøyer - men hans billeder spænder alligevel - næsten - fra overdreven begejstring til smertefuld melankoli.

Condition

The canvas is relined.
