The Buildings of the Asiatic Company, seen from St. Annæ Gade  1902

by Vilhelm Hammershøi

146,5x140,5 cm [br] In depictions of Copenhagen like The Buildings of the Asiatic Company, Hammershøi depopulates the busy street scenes favored by Danish proponents of naturalism and realism, inventing a quiet, static city devoid of movement.
