RE: [ART] The Death of a Swedish Hero 🎨
Oh yes, the late 19th century is full of historical paintings also over here across the Øresund. Most famous of them is Otto Bache. Your painting here is rather discrete for the genre, it does not attack you like in the semi nationalistic and propagandistic fashion they often do
I agree, this painting manages to avoid the too grandiose, too pompous aspects of history painting.
