Nivaagaard\u2019s Painting Collection receives the work <\/span>Tronie of an Elderly Man<\/em> (c. 1645\u20131649) on deposit. The painting, which has had a turbulent history, was previously sold as an authentic work by Rembrandt and later identified as a copy \u2014 internationally known as a \u2018dark horse\u2019 that ought to disappear. Ongoing research suggests that the work was most likely produced in Rembrandt\u2019s workshop<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Nivaagaard Collection has been gifted two works by Janus la Cour by the Christoph M\u00fcller Foundation, which also contributed a large number of loans to the special exhibition <\/span>Janus la Cour. Silence<\/em> in 2025. The gift comprises two paintings: one from Janus la Cour\u2019s beloved Djursland\u2014also used as the exhibition\u2019s signature image \u2014 <\/span>Helgen\u00e6s Coast with Stones<\/em> (1875), and one from his preferred travel destination, Italy: <\/span>Coast of Sorrento I <\/em>(1866). We are grateful that these works now form part of the collection, which also includes la Cour\u2019s <\/span>The Castle of Chillon on Lake Geneva<\/em> (1876).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Barbara and Jens Hage donates C.A. Jensens portrait of Christopher Friedenreich Hage to The Nivaagaard Collection <\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The portrait depicts Jens Hage\u2019s great-great-great-grandfather, who is also the grandfather of the museum\u2019s founder, Johannes Hage. The painting collection owns several family portraits by C.A. Jensen, who was among the most skilled and popular portrait painters of the 19th century. Using the finest little brush, the vivid hair and Christopher\u2019s expression are brought to life. He also closely resembles himself in another well-known work in the collection by Wilhelm Marstrand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several of the museum\u2019s regular visitors will recognize Christopher Friedenreich Hage from Marstrand\u2019s large double portrait, which hangs in the museum\u2019s reception. Here we see the merchant Christopher Friedenreich Hage (1759\u20131849) from Stege on the island of M\u00f8n together with his wife, Christiane Arnette Hage, and at his feet the family dog, Fenris. This painting was commissioned by Alfred Hage, Johannes Hage\u2019s father, on the occasion of his parents\u2019 golden wedding anniversary.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Nivaagaard Collection acquires two of the six known paintings by the Flemish artist Catharina Ykens II<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Catharina Ykens II (1659 \u2013 after 1689) was born into an artistic family in Antwerp. Her father, uncle, and brother were all painters, and Ykens II herself is also recorded professionally as a painter. She was around 28 years old when she painted the two pendant works: ornate porcelain vases stand at either end of a stone table, holding floral arrangements of pink roses, lily of the valley, auriculas, daffodils, honeysuckle, hyacinths, orange blossom, jasmine, and nasturtiums. The addition of <\/span>\u201cfilia devot\u201d<\/em> after her name in the paintings\u2019 inscriptions suggests that she was likely affiliated with the Church, though not as a nun.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
