Holger Drachmann Sold at Auction Prices

Painter

Holger Henrik Herholdt Drachmann (9 October 1846 – 14 January 1908) was a Danish poet, dramatist and painter. He was a member of the Skagen artistic colony and became a figure of the Scandinavian Modern Breakthrough Movement.

Drachmann was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was the son of Andreas Georg Drachmann (1810-1892) and Wilhelmine Marie Stæhr (1820-1857). His father was a surgeon with the Royal Danish Navy. It family belonged to the German-speaking congregation at St. Peter's Church (Sankt Petri Kirke) in Copenhagen.[3]

Owing to the early death of his mother, the child was left much to his own devices and developed a fondness for semi-poetical performances, organising his companions in heroic games, in which he himself took such roles as those of Royal Danish Naval heroes Peder Tordenskjold and Niels Juel.

      Est: €5,600 - €7,000

      Oil on canvas Holger Drachmann (1846-1908) – Danish painter and poet Signed and dated 'H Drachmann 1871' lower left  Inscribed (partly barely legible) on the stretchers frame ' Ver Scaletta paa (...)kysten af Sicilien' in pencil and dated '1871' in felt pen Dimensions: 42 x 57.8 cm Gilt stucco frame: 69.5 x 87 cm Provenance: Private property, Northern Germany Holger Drachmann's painting of the Sicilian 'Castello di Scaletta' draws attention to the castle of the princes of Scaletta situated above the city and on massive rocks: The view wanders over the southern landscape with agaves, individual hikers – and the sea which is very important for the passionate marine painter – towards the Italian mainland close to the skyline. Condition: The painting is in good condition, consistent with the age. The varnish is slightly darkened. Overall tiny craquelure can be seen on the canvas and scattered marks, mainly in the upper part. There are areas with scuffing due to the frame along the upper edges and corners of the canvas. The frame shows traces of usage as tears and scratches. Holger Drachmann (1846-1908) Holger Drachmann, born in 1846 in Copenhagen, belongs to the well-known modern Danish poets and worked as well as a marine painter. In the 1860s he started to study at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen and dedicated himself afterwards to journalism, poetry and painting. Several journeys brought him among others to Scotland, England, France and Northern America where he was attentive to social differences. In painting and in writing (nature and love poetry) he focusses on the sea as a subject: Beach, ships and the life of the locals were the most important motives of his work – this way the sea became a metaphor for the artist.

Nov. 1902" Beautiful maritime motif Paintings by Holger Drachmann fetch up to 25.000 Euros at international auctions Overall dimensions, framed: 76 x 49 cm This very decorative oil painting by the Danish painter Holger Drachmann depicts the rough sea of the Skagerrak, which is about 240 km long and between 80 km and 140 km wide and is located at the northern point of Denmark. The oil painting impresses due to the very natural interpretation of the sea, where two boats fight against the wind and the waves. The painting is slightly soiled and shows a touch up in the upper right corner. There is a small spot in the lower left corner and the cardboard is slightly visible. Partially, the canvas shows some transparent raised stains. The frame shows major traces of age and wear. The overall dimensions are 76 x 49 cm (framed) and 67 x 40 cm (cardboard). Holger Drachmann (1846-1908) Holger Drachmann was born in 1846 in Copenhagen where he studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts. After his studies, he worked as a journalist and dedicated himself to the art of poetry. Holger Drachmann is one of the most popular poets in Denmark. He is also a well-known artist and mainly painted seascapes.
