Parti fra Øvre-Telemark (Landscape from Upper Telemark)

Frederik Sødring was a pupil of Jens Peter Møller. He had close relationships with several students of Eckersberg, mainly with Købke from whom he learned the keen view on Copenhagen's topography. Købke painted a portrait of him in the studio they shared in the early 1830s. Sødring's work reveals two distinct concepts of landscape, both 'German' and 'Danish'—not necessarily as a result of his own work but probably dictated by the artistic environment at the time.
