About the piece
Created in 1899 by Laurits Andersen Ring, 'After Sunset' is a seminal work of Danish Symbolism. The painting masterfully balances the heavy, dark presence of the foreground earth with a luminous, ethereal horizon, exploring themes of mortality and nature's cycles through the inclusion of subtle 'memento mori' elements beneath the soil.
