I love this one, Rob. It has the feel about it of a Hammershoi painting.

Thanks, Chris, especially for introducing me to Hammershoi, who I’ve just looked up. He certainly was a master of the softly-lit interior. Very photographic. It might be something I can explore more. The light has to be “just so”, and there’s no way you can manufacture it.

I see he was a great admirer of Whistler, who also had a photo-compositional feel to his work. I do like Whistler’s work a lot, and highly recommend the quite recent biography of his mother, an extraordinary woman.

Mischa and I discovered him in the National Gallery in Copenhagen about 18 years ago and I was captivated immediately by his work. This is a documentary about him by Michael Palin which was on TV a few years ago.

I enjoyed that documentary, Chris. Thanks for sharing it.

I’m fascinated by interiors, the balance between the external and internal types.

Thoughts are brewing…

I'm glad you got something from it Rob.
