Inheritance (Sea)
Price: 475,000 DKK
Oil on Canvas
370 x 190 cm.
In Inheritance (Sea) (2017–2026), Jacob Rantzau reinterprets P.S. Krøyer’s celebrated painting Boys Bathing on a Summer Evening at Skagen Beach from 1892. A group of children play carefree in the shallow water, their movements unfolding beneath a bright, cloud-filled sky. Through expressive brushwork and a subdued palette, Rantzau transforms Krøyer’s naturalistic scene into his own contemporary visual language.
The painting forms part of a broader narrative exploring inheritance, memory, and what passes between generations. As the children play, they appear unaware of the stories and experiences being passed down to them. Inevitably, something is lost over time – both the burdens and the beauty of the past.
This artwork is presented here as part of a small selection. Please reach out to us for access to a showroom with all available artworks.
