Valdemar Kornerup, Reading At The Long Table
A fine early 20th-century oil on canvas by award-winning Danish artist, Valdemar Kornerup (1865-1924). It depicts an elderly gentleman reading a newspaper while sitting at a long wooden table. A gentle light passes through several plants and illuminates one end of the table.
Kornerup has beautifully built up the oils in certain areas to bring texture to where the light lands. Whereas the figure is painted flatter and quietly blends into his surroundings.
Valdemar Vincent Kornerup was born in Copenhagen and studied at the local Academy of Fine Arts. In 1887, he began travelling around Europe and visited France, Italy, Spain and Greece, before heading for Norway in 1898.
He painted many of these peaceful interior scenes throughout his career and several include figures undertaking regular everyday activities. There’s a sense of calmness and mild introversion in Kornerup’s works, which is sometimes reminiscent of his Danish contemporary, Vilhelm Hammershoi (1864-1916).
The painting is housed within a handsome gilded frame with decorative corner motifs.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size including frame: 19” x 18½” / 48cm x 47cm x 5cm
Year of creation: c. 1910 - c. 1924
Condition: Artwork in very good condition. The little white speckles shown in the close up photos are reflected light and not visible with the naked eye. Frame with some age-related wear including scuffs in the lower left.
Artist’s auction highlight: £7,500 achieved at Sotheby's in 1994 for ‘The Good Samaritan’. Brave Fine Art is a boutique art dealership based in the picturesque Malvern Hills, England.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
