Nyhavn - what a difference a year and a virus makes
/
last summer ……
…… and this summer with the city in lockdown
and a slightly lighter note …. when it comes to important things in life, people don’t change much. Who can resist leaning on the railings or the parapet of a bridge to stare at the water?
The lads fishing from the north bridge over the moat at Kastellet is a detail of a painting by Christen Købke from 1834 and is now in the collection of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. The stance of the boy in pale trousers fishing and the pose of the girl in jeans and both with remarkably similar short jackets seems like a link through the decades between them.
