Fyn er fin #4
Denne cache er lagt i forbindelse med eventet "Fyn er fin".
I 1800-tallet var de fynske alper ægte vildmark. Romantikken
blomstrede og det fashionable borgerskab i København dyrkede
vildmarksturismen. De rejste bl.a. til Fyn hvor de besøgte
Svanninge Bakker, som var ved at få national berømmelse. Ved
århundredeskiftet malede flere kunstnere motiver fra Svanninge
Bakker. De mest kendte er Jens Birkholm, Fritz Syberg ("Aftenleg i
Svanninge Bakker", 1900) , og Peter Hansen. Deres billeder kan
bl.a. ses på ”Faaborg Museum for Fynsk Malerkunst”.
In the eighteenth century the alps of Funen were genuine
wilderness. Romanticism was booming and the upper middle classes in
Copenhagen enjoyed ’turism’ in the wilderness. Among other places
they travelled to Funen where they visited Svanninge Bakker, which
were becoming famous nationally. By the turn of the century several
artists painted motifs from Svanninge Bakker. The most well-known
were Jens Birkholm, Fritz Syberg and Peter Hansen. Some of their
paintings can be seen at ”Faaborg Museum for Fynsk Malerkunst” in
Faaborg.
