Provenance: Christopher von Bülow of Nordfeld, Møn, Prefect
and Chamberlain. Baron Güldencrone of Vilhelmsborg near
Århus. In his family until now.
In 1809 Christopher von Bülow commissioned a series of
landscape paintings by Eckersberg. He wanted Eckersberg to
paint the manor Nordfeld, but also the surrounding
landscape - including Møns Klint, the Cliffs of Møn. Eckersberg
depicted the manor and surroundings in a couple of
paintings from the gardens, but he also painted the manor
and in a quite untraditional way not focusing on the house itself,
which is seen from a distance and almost hidden behind
trees, but on the landscape.
It is uncertain, how many paintings Eckersberg painted for
Christopher von Bülow during and after his stay at Nordfeld,
but the series of landscape paintings was Eckersberg's last
large job before he in 1810 started to make preparations for his
journey to Paris and Rome, from which he returned to Copenhagen
not until 1816. Two paintings from the Møn series are
today in the Statens Museum for Kunst (The Danish National
Gallery).
