AAGE RASMUSSEN (1913-1975) STORSTRØMSBROEN. 1937. 39 1/4x24 1/2 inches, 99 1/2x62 cm. Andreasen & Lachman, Copenhagen. Condition B+: creases, abrasions and restoration in margins and image; repaired tears and overpainting at edges. For Rasmussen, promoting the Danish State Railways was about more than just depicting locomotion; it was about the beauty of its destinations and the impressive structures which allowed trains to get from one place to another. Here, wrapped in the warm comfort of nocturnal blues and greens, a wistful plume of steam from a train making its way over a towering gray bridge, blows through the structure's supports. The yellow glow from the setting sun is visible on the horizon and is echoed in the lights emanating from the train's carriages. This is the original Danish version.
