HOPARE about the mural: A Mysterious Subject – Immersed in her thoughts, “Trine” stands before us with a mix of melancholy and dignity. The delicate features of her face contrast remarkably with the sturdy musculature of her torso. The action is almost frozen in time. What is ultimately the subject of the mural? Is it the intricate arrangement of her long hair strands or the pensive gaze of the model? Is it the interior of a room or the introspection of the human soul? The visible or the invisible? In five days, I have interpreted one of the masterpieces from the golden age of Danish painting, Ludvig August Smith. This unique synthesis of neoclassicism and romanticism remains a mystery.
