Heinrich Hansen (1821-1890): Cloister corridor in St. Juan de los Reyes in Toledo. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated 'HH (18)60'. 48 x 40 cm. (60 x 52 cm.)
Heinrich Hansen has worked on the motif from the famous medieval monastery in Toledo on several occasions. A first, somewhat smaller version (46 × 38 cm.) was exhibited at Charlottenborg in 1853. The present painting is a later, slightly larger, variant of the atmospheric scene, which Jørgen B. Hartmann in 'Kunst i Privateje', 1945, volume III (page 254) describes in the following words: "In Heinrich Hansen's 'Cloister corridor in St. Juan de los Reyes in Toledo' one feels that the warm light of the south and the beautiful medieval remains of buildings have inspired the painter to see the whole in the motif without losing sight of the detail".
