“In Denmark, I Am Born” — Danish art in Davids Samling

David's Collection contains not only the beautiful Golden Age Hall from the beginning of the 19th century, but also Danish furniture, porcelain, silver and other handicrafts from the period.

The collection also contains paintings by some of Denmark's greatest artists of the 18th and 19th centuries, including portraits of Vigilius Eriksen and Jens Juel.

In the Danish Golden Age C.W. Eckersberg was a central figure, both as an artist and teacher. He drew inspiration from his travels to Paris and Rome, while the next generation of artists — including Christen Købke, P. C. Skovgaard and Johan Thomas Lundbye — focused more on Danish landscapes and motifs.
