Description

Old People

Carl Heinrich Bloch, 1874

Bloch’s genre paintings reflect his sympathy for those who were often overlooked, lonely, or oppressed. His perceptions of character, eye for detail, and appreciation of all that is good in human nature shine through in his painting of Old People. Here, a wife reads to her ailing husband from the Bible. He lies in a canopied bed, his head propped up with pillows. A crutch is leaning against a chair. On the wall hangs a net filled with floats, alluding to the old man’s life spent as a fisherman. A clock acts as a reminder of the inevitable passage of time. It is a simple scene – but one that is full of kindness and tenderness.

This piece was displayed as part of the Carl Bloch: The Master’s Hand exhibition.

More About Bloch

Carl Bloch was an academic Danish painter who is best known for his paintings depicting the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

He received his artistic training at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Later, while living in Rome for several years, Bloch studied paintings by the great Italian masters.

When he returned to Copenhagen, Bloch quickly established a reputation as a religious painter. This led to major commissions for paintings in churches and chapels of Denmark and Sweden.

His extensive body of work includes over 250 paintings and 78 etchings. Still, Bloch considered his religious works to be his most valuable contributions. His productive career ended early when he died of cancer at the age of only fifty-five.
