| Description |
English: Odin crosses over the path of Jylland Altamoura spent the summer of 1875 aboard the frigate "Jylland", an important vessel of the Danish royal fleet.2 From May 21 to August 23, "Jylland" went on its 10th cruise from Elsinore to Plymouth, Madeira and Cherbourg. According to E. Kypreou, who curated the artist's major retrospective at the Benaki Museum in 2011, this is highly probable since there are no other works by him with 'Danish' subjects during that period other than some drawings from a journey at sea, the frigate itself, as well as different types of ships. Evidently, Altamoura was offered the same opportunity to sail with the royal fleet as any other Danish marine painter. (Compare Warship, a watercolour on paper from 1875, showing the same battleship and other similar vessels with Danish flags). |
