More about this artwork
This painting by Edvard Weie is an abstract watercolor study that interprets the themes and colors in Delacroix's "Dante and Virgil in the Underworld." Instead of a detailed narrative or a direct representation, Weie uses a series of interlocking and overlapping color shapes to create a composition. The colors are expressive and vary in tone and intensity, with rich browns, vibrant blues, muted greens, and creams predominating the painting.The abstract nature of this study suggests a focus on the emotional or atmospheric elements from the Delacroix painting, rather than its figurative content. Each color patch might represent a different aspect of the original artwork, perhaps translating the dramatic and vivid scenes of the underworld into a language of color and form that resonates with the symbolic and intense nature of Delacroix's original painting. This abstraction allows viewers to engage with the painting at a more emotional or visceral level, potentially drawing out personal interpretations and feelings connected to the original classical themes.

A collection of paintings by Danish Modernist painter Edvard Weie (1879-1943). Weie was a master of landscapes, street scenes, and art nudes, and his paintings showcase his unique artistic style. Weie was heavily influenced by his teacher Kristian Zahrtmann and the modern art movement while enrolled at Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler in Copenhagen. His later works became increasingly abstract in nature as he revised his concepts over and over.
