{"product_id":"65286-anton-melbye-und-das-seestueck-im-19-jahrhundert","title":"Anton Melbye and 19th-Century Marine Painting","description":"Celebrated and sought after during his lifetime for his emotionally charged seascapes with ships, Anton Melbye gradually fell into oblivion after his death and was only rediscovered in recent years. Particularly in his paintings of the empty ocean, created from 1846 onwards, the Danish artist developed the seascape into a mirror of the soul, of the longings and ambitions of his time. For the first time in art history without signs of human, ship or coast, the agitated sea surface of his marine solitudes, in its uniformity, impenetrability and spatial infinity, aims at the unsettling of the viewers and becomes a projection surface for existential reflection. Regine Gerhardt's scholarly standard work on the life and work of this unique painter is now available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eANTON MELBYE's (1818, Copenhagen–1875, Paris) stations in Copenhagen, Hamburg, Paris and Constantinople form a north-south axis, along which the European dimension of a successful artist's career in the 19th century becomes visible. In addition to his oil painted seascapes, he gained recognition for his technically complex charcoal and chalk drawings and enjoyed – as did his artist brothers Vilhelm and Fritz Melbye – the appreciation of private art collectors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREGINE GERHARDT (1969–2018, Hamburg) studied history and art history in Hamburg and Dublin. Until her death, she worked as a freelance art historian specializing in 19th-century visual arts. Her dissertation on the life and work of Anton Melbye receives a belated tribute with this publication.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-5521-4)","offer_id":44577198473480,"sku":"9783775755214","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-5522-1)","offer_id":44577198506248,"sku":"9783775755221","price":37.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-5523-8)","offer_id":44577198539016,"sku":"9783775755238","price":37.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775755214_04327106-9482-497a-83b2-b01e0bccb072.jpg?v=1744042241","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/65286-anton-melbye-und-das-seestueck-im-19-jahrhundert","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
