About the piece
Painted by the Danish master P.S. Krøyer, this work captures the interior of the Burmeister and Wain iron foundry with remarkable realism. The composition is defined by the striking contrast between the cool, hazy blue light of the factory ceiling and the fiery, incandescent light emanating from the molten metal, highlighting the figures of the laborers at work.
