Follow Kær’s Art Calendar 2022!
"There is always something. There’s never nothing". Perhaps you remember Peter Kær's words from his previous art calendars, where he has taken us to Rome with Constantin Hansen, Skagen with Anna Ancher, the living room of Vilhelm Hammershøi and Egypt with Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann. This year, Kær's Art Calendar can celebrate its fifth anniversary, and this time the focus is on the 18th century painter Nicolai Abildgaard.
"The idea with the art calendar is to go exploring, to investigate, to go on a treasure hunt. Zoom in, pause and look at the importance of the details to better understand the whole picture. Specifically, what I have done is that I have taken a painting and cut it into pieces. Split it up into 24 small episodes, where each time I look at new details in and around the painting and of course also about the artist".

Join us on a fantastic journey to 18th-century Copenhagen and Rome when we, in collaboration with the National Gallery of Denmark and the Nivaagaard Collection, give you the opportunity to follow Peter Kær's wonderful promotion of art through "Kær's Art Calendar". This is the fifth year in a row that Kær has produced the calendar, and every day from 1 to 24 December, the popular art detective zooms in on a new detail in Nicolai Abildgaard's well-known and much talked about painting "The Wounded Philoctetes" from 1775, which today hangs in the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen. The story is told at a level where everyone can follow the story, and we get close to Abildgaard as an artist and a person. |
