Harald Engman, Nyboder

Harald Engman, NyboderThis early 20th century oil painting by Danish artist Harald Rudyard Engman (1903 1968) depicts a row of houses at Nyboder, Copenhagen. Amid the silhouettes and shadows of a street he repeatedly painted, stands the essence of a brilliant artist. One whose courage led to rapid exile amid the horrors of war.
