Part 5


We did do a bit of crisscrossing, but we had to get to VEJEN and the Art Museum there. Well, it turned out to be a ‘find’ as it was home to the work of sculptor Neils Hansen Jacobsen.

Militarismen by Neils Hansen Jacobsen, 1898-99

Of course, the museum was having its grounds renovated. That actually made an interesting landscape for some of Jacobsen’s sculptures.

 
But inside was calm. Neils Hansen Jacobsen (1861-1941) was born and raised in Vejen before going off to the Royal Academy in Copenhagen. He married and settled in Paris in 1892, before returning to Denmark after his wife died. NHJ and his second wife built this museum, as well as a residence and studio.

Mermaids creating a maelstrom, 1927
The First Blush of Dawn, 1898-1902
An Unknown Star, 1895

There was the work of others on display:

The Pillar from Sodom by Siegfried Wagner, 1905
Portrait of a Spanish Gypsy by Edith Willumsen, 1911
 Portrait of a Woman by Harald Slott-Moller 
 Portaet af maleren Elise Konstantin-Hansen by Susette Catherine Holten Dkovgaard, 1897
A Barbarian by Carl Johan Bonnessen, 1891
