During the years where Rørbye concluded his time at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, he did large numbers of drawn landscapes and views of Copenhagen and its environs, as well as paintings showing scenes of street life in the Danish capital.

Familiar types from everyday life The works, which proved very popular with buyers, were characterised by their panoply of familiar types drawn from everyday life and by their moralising allusions, making them something other than simple snapshots of life.

The architectural surroundings The street scene from the Nytorv in Copenhagen strikes an edifying note even with its architectural surroundings. C.F. Hansen’s prison is a principal piece of Golden Age architecture. It is “eloquent” architecture with a stern look intended to instil fear of the consequences of any crime.

The painting's figures In the background a young man is asking an older moneylender for a loan, while another young man points an admonitory finger to the debtor’s prison behind him. To the left of the arched doorway the transaction between the old and young women refers to the scales of Justice; the young dandy in the middle of the picture, his hand in his bulging pocket, sends lusty glances at the young mother to the right.

The small signs of the characters’ less than appealing traits are commented on by the old man in the foreground – a misanthrope who does not even put out his light in broad daylight.

For the Direct Aluminium Dibond print, we print your chosen artpiece right on the surface of the aluminum composite. The bright and white parts of the artwork shimmer with a silky gloss, however without glare.
  • The canvas print: A printed canvas, which shall not be mistaken with an artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital copy printed from an industrial printer. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without the use of extra wall-mounts. Because of thata canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls.
  • Poster (canvas material): A poster print is a printed canvas paper with a granular texture on the surface, which reminds the original work of art. A poster print is ideally qualified for placing the art copy in a custom frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm round about the artwork, which facilitates the framing.
  • Printed acrylic glass: The print on acrylic glass, often described as a UV print on plexiglass, will transform the original artwork into décor. Additionally, the acrylic glass print makes a good alternative option to aluminium and canvas fine art prints. With an acrylic glass fine art print contrasts and granular image details will be visible due to the subtle gradation. Our plexiglass with real glass coating protects your selected art replica against light and external influences for between 40-60 years.
