J. Broch Lies in State" (1889) by Erik WerenskioldErik Werenskiold's hauntingly serene painting, "Professor O.J. Broch Lies in State," captures a poignant moment of repose and finality. The artwork, composed in 1889, delicately portrays Professor O.J. Broch, a noted figure, in a state of eternal rest. Werenskiold's mastery of subtle color and light lends a solemn grace to the composition, highlighting the peaceful expression on the professor's face with a palette of soft whites and muted tones.The central figure, depicted with a sense of gentle realism, lies with his head resting on a pillow, his features softened in the stillness of death.
