Fall exhibition
October 11, 2025 – January 18, 2026
Exhibition of the work of Samal Joensen Mikines (1906-1979), born on the Faroe Islands. The artist worked mainly on the island of Mykines – where he was famous – and was inspired by his immediate surroundings: the sea, the rugged hilly landscape, the cold hills and small fishing villages. His work is somewhere between impressionistic and expressionistic and focuses mainly on light and space. During his life Mikines contemplated alternately on the islands and in Denmark, where he considered gold as one of the important cards of his generation. The exhibition at the Museum Belvédère derides small landscapes and sea paintings that have similarities with the work of Northern Dutch landscape painters who are represented in the museum's collection. A Dutch monograph will be published to accompany the exhibition.
