EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand, titled "Erasmus Montanus," act III, scene 3, 1844, depicts a satirical moment from Ludvig Holberg's classic Danish play of the same name. In this scene, a man and a woman are seated indoors, in a kitchen setting. The man, dressed in a coat and hat, holds a rooster by its legs, while a dog looks on curiously. A cockerel perches on the table, next to a chicken, and a second rooster is shown in the background. The woman, dressed in an apron and holding a broom, looks on with a bemused expression. Marstrand masterfully captures the humor and absurdity of Holberg's play, which is known for its parodic and satirical take on Danish society and traditions. The use of color and light in the painting adds depth and texture to the scene, making it a rich and engaging work of art. The oil painting is a testament to Marstrand's skill as a painter and his ability to bring Holberg's words to life in a visually stunning way. The painting is a national treasure of Denmark, and can be found in the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) in Copenhagen. It is a beloved piece of Danish heritage art, and a must-see for anyone interested in the country's rich cultural history.
