There is no physical space behind Hammershøi’s figures. The dark base acts more as a painted surface than as an illusion of a stage. The figures seem to exist independently of time and space, like images of ideas, perhaps representing a longing for a beauty that is not of this world.Sublimation of manHammershøi painted out the fleshy elements of nudity in favour of an Arcadian concept of nudity as a pure, harmonic form. In Hammershøi’s painting, the goddess Artemis - crowned with a crescent moon - becomes the centre of a sublimation of man and all things human; an insistence on beauty and art as a soulful, condensed form.Hammershøi
