Game. A Pheasant and an Eider,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite oil painting by Danish artist Johan Laurentz Jensen, dates back to 1846. This work of art, now housed in the National Gallery of Denmark (Statens Museum for Kunst), showcases the rich heritage of Danish animal art from the nineteenth century. The painting presents a striking contrast between two distinct species: a regal pheasant, with its vibrant plumage of red, green, and gold, and an eider duck, its sleek black and white feathers adorned with intricate patterns. The pheasant, a classic game bird, lies dead on a wooden table, its lifeless eyes staring blankly at the viewer, while the eider, a waterfowl, swims serenely in a glass jar filled with water. Jensen masterfully employs the use of color and contrast to create a thought-provoking tableau. The pheasant's brilliant plumage is juxtaposed against the eider's monochromatic palette, highlighting the transience of life and the beauty of nature. The still life arrangement adds to the concept of the passage of time and the cyclical nature of life and death. This painting, a testament to Jensen's skill and artistic vision, invites viewers to reflect on the intricacies of nature and the human relationship with the natural world. The National Gallery of Denmark, with its extensive collection of Danish art, provides an invaluable resource for exploring the country's artistic heritage and the works of its most renowned artists, including Johan Laurentz Jensen.
