More about this artwork

Vilhelm Hammershøi's 1909 painting, "Interior. Artificial Light," captures an enigmatic domestic scene steeped in tranquil ambiguity. Dominated by muted tones and shadowed contours, the artwork profoundly explores the interplay of light and darkness. Here, Hammershøi sets a simple yet evocative scene—a circular table centering a sparse room, upon which sits a candlestick bearing two lit candles. The gentle glow emanating from these candles casts subtle reflections and soft light, creating a focal point amidst the surrounding gloom.The rounded arch enclosing the space and the darkened furniture—a chair and what appears to be a side cabinet—enhance the room's secluded, introspective quality. This painting, like many of Hammershøi's interiors, evokes a sense of stillness and poignant solitude that invites the viewer to linger in contemplation.
