From the history of time the sea has become an enigmatic object that has seen a record of thought-provoking facts about its being.
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is a Danish Museum that holds an exhibition of this liquid landscape from 11th October 2024 to 27th April 2025.
In the walls of this show the sea is encapsulated into different themes from the mythological seas to exploration and its relations between art and science.
Artworks from where the sky and the sea stand hand in hand romanticise the imagery of the sea and artists including Caspar David Friedrich, Peder Balke and August Strindberg are exhibited into this truly maritime drama of works.
Sea Gods have been encapsulated through the paintings in the Renaissance and Baroque periods and this exhibition draws on cultural recordings of this landscape with art from lands including Japan, with woodcuts and fantasy sagas.
The museum recounts: “The underwater life had to be curiously conquered, mapped and classified, and here art played a central role.”
This new exhibition relates to all mythologies of sea and water, and it encapsulates a story of expression throughout the Globe.
