The Dancing Glade at Sorgenfri, North of Copenhagen, 1800
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting by Danish artist Jens Juel, showcased at the National Museum of Art in Copenhagen, Denmark. This masterpiece, created in the late 18th century, offers a glimpse into the everyday life and leisure activities of the Danish bourgeoisie during this period. The painting depicts a lively scene in a secluded glade, surrounded by a dense forest, where a group of children and adults are engaged in various games and amusements. In the foreground, a boy and a girl, dressed in contemporary fashion, dance together, their joyful expressions reflecting the carefree spirit of the moment. A group of men, some with their hats off, watch and cheer them on from a nearby bench. A nursemaid, holding an infant, sits on the bench, keeping a watchful eye on the children at play. A man, perhaps the father of the family, sits on the grass, enjoying a meal from a basket. The scene exudes a sense of high society, with the elegant attire and refined manners of the adults, yet the setting is decidedly rural, with the verdant forest and open field providing a natural backdrop. The painting invites us to imagine a day of leisure and enjoyment in the great outdoors, where the simple pleasures of life - dancing, playing games, and spending time with family - bring happiness and amusement to all. The Dancing Glade at Sorgenfri remains a cherished piece of Danish art, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the joys of everyday life.
