November, november, november

November in Copenhagen, is really rainy, grey, dark and cold and it can seem like it’s never ending. The Danish poem; The Year has 16th months by poet Henrik Nordbrandt names November five times …

Vilhelm Hammershøi well known for his restricted palette, clear lines and to master light, also captures the melancholic mood that is November. Hammershøi had a special relationship to Christianshavn. He lived on Strandgade 30, and this painting (visual) is named; Three ships, Christianshavn channel, 1904.

The studio saw the art exhibition: Hammershøi special hanging at David’s Collection, Copenhagen, on until January 4.
