The programme explores the 1880s fascination with modern life.

Learning programme

The programme explores the 1880s fascination with modern life. In the visual arts, this led to a break with the academic traditions of the Danish Golden Age and a new interest in scenes from everyday life. Krøyer’s portrait of Georg Brandes at the lectern vividly captures the spirit of the age, when public debate opened up new connections between art and contemporary society.
