To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One Danish critic has phrased this characteristic very clearly. He writes : " Touching feeling for home and country is the key-note of modern Danish art. The Dane has no sentiment but that of home. His country, once powerful, has become small and unimportant in the councils of the nations. It is not difficult to understand therefore that he clings with a melancholy tenderness to the only thing that is left him — his home. " The real founder of the modern Danish school was C. V, Eckersberg (1783... — 1853), who was a THORWALDSEN AND MODERN ART 207 pupil of the French painter David. Eckersberg's works, particularly his portraits, combine careful design and delicate colouring with an elegant style, but most of his landscapes and marine studies are immature and laboured in execution. It is quite clear that David influenced the technical side of his art only. Karl Madsen, the renowned writer and the Ruskin of Denmark, has declared that it is Nature in her every-day dress which Eckersberg depicts.
