The Danish Golden Age and the Modern Breakthrough

For lower-secondary students

The Hirschsprung Collection offers students an opportunity to compare the idealised compositions of the Danish Golden Age with the social-realist subjects of the Modern Breakthrough.

Learning programme

This learning programme takes students on a journey through a century of Danish art. By comparing works from different periods, students gain an understanding of the significant and dynamic developments that shaped 19th-century art.
