Parlem de Pintura...

Peder Mørk Mønsted (Grenaa, 10 de desembre de 1859 - Fredensborg, 20 de juny de 1941) va ser un pintor danès. Es va formar a Copenhagen on va estudiar entre els anys 1875 i 1879 a la Reial Acadèmia de Belles Arts de la ciutat. Els seus professors van ser, entre altres, Andries Fritz i Julius Exner. Ràpidament es va especialitzar en la pintura realista realitzant nombrosos viatges per Europa, on va treballar a l'estudi de William Bouguereau a París, pel Nord d'Àfrica i el Pròxim Orient. El seu art mostra una visió poètica i romàntica de la naturalesa, plasmada en els seus llenços amb un detall i un realisme pròxim a una increïble perfecció i amb una suprema habilitat tècnica la qual s'acosta a la precisió fotogràfica. Va morir a Fredensborg el juny de 1941.



Parlem de Música...

Carl August Nielsen (Sortelung, 9 de juny de 1865 - København, 3 d'octubre de 1931) va ser un compositor danès. Entre els anys 1884 i 1887 va estudiar al Conservatori de Copenhaguen i després va realitzar diversos viatges d'estudis a Alemanya, Àustria, França i Itàlia. Va tornar a Copenhaguen, on va ser violinista de l'orquestra del Teatre Real on, entre els anys 1908 i 1914, va ser director d'orquestra. El 1916 va ser nomenat professor del conservatori de la capital danesa, centre que va dirigir el 1931. Entre els anys 1915 i 1921 va ser director d'orquestra de la societat Musikforeninger, en què va donar a conèixer gran part de les seves composicions. En aquest sentit, va escriure sis simfonies, en què es va deixar veure la seva evolució musical. En les dues primeres (1892 i 1902) va seguir la forma clàssica del gènere i en la tercera (1911) va seguir l'element formal clàssic si bé amb un tema i ritme més personals. En la quarta (1916) va donar gran originalitat i dinamisme als seus ritmes, la cinquena (1922) va ser la més extensa si bé només es va presentar en dos moviments i la sisena (1925) va mostrar un caràcter més proper a la música de cambra. També va ser autor de les òperes Saul og David (1901), amb grans cors polifònics, i Maskerade (1906), de caràcter còmic. Va realitzar també dos grans llibres de cançons de caràcter pedagògic i familiar. Carl Nielsen va morir a Copenhagen l'octubre de 1931.
