In a Roman Osteria (1866) 🎨 Carl Bloch 🏛️ Statens Museum for Kunst 📍 Copenhagen, Denmark

As is often the case in Bloch’s work, knives and forks are brandished rather freely. Note in particular how the phallic decanter to the left may be close to an inviting mouth with slightly parted lips, but is equally - and unpleasantly - close to a knife and a fork with only two large prongs considerably more pointy than those of the young man’s fork.

In a Roman Osteria is an intensified version of a painting by one of Bloch’s major predecessors, Wilhelm Marstrand (1810-1873); specifically his charming Italian Osteria Scene from 1848 (Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek). It is one of Bloch’s most popular genre pictures and is typical of his seductive ability to depict objects, details, and clothes with striking realism.

Within Bloch’s body of work, the genre pictures constituted a break from the many commissions from the Danish Establishment. Friars with toothache, monks plucking chickens, coarse fishwives, and children hunting innocent ducks were among his favorite subjects. These pictures were usually very amusing, but also often rather strange and very much open to interpretation.

the only content I needed today

[gregdotorg]

I began to observe a lack of faith in the future, in the students and in myself. There was a pervasive mood of lethargy and wanting to give up, a sense of: How can we keep going? In this world infused by wars, crises and climate change, how can we even think about our future, let alone make art? It made me think about what the artists before us have done. After all, there have been difficult times before, so how have previous artists managed to continue working even when things looked bleak? So I turned my attention away from difficult beginnings towards being interested in endings. Partly to see if we could learn to think about our futures in different ways through those artists who persisted.
