Stræben efter idealet

In a drawing by the Danish Golden Age artist Wilhelm Marstrand entitled 'The pursuit of the Ideal' a farmer drives his donkey forward by holding a lance of hay to its muzzle. Here the bait must be the ideal, and the aspirant with the ideal ambitions must be the donkey. The drawing is done with distinctive, wide, dark lines and hastily applied hatching. It clearly lacks finish and is therefore not a finished work in the classical sense. But Marstrand's drawing also suggests the process that drawings in the Golden Age usually took part in. In the first part of the 19th century, drawings and sketches served only as a preliminary to a finished painting. Danish visual artists considered a drawing first and foremost a step towards the end goal, namely the artist's ideal vision translated into a painting. In Striving for the Ideal, The drawing of the Golden Age receives separate attention for the first time. In order to understand drawing as an artistic medium in the Golden Age, Thomas Lederballe, senior researcher at the Kobberstiksamlingen at the Statens Museum for Art, analyzes the production of five important Danish artists: C.W. Eckersberg, Christen Købke, Wilhelm Bendz, Wilhelm Marstrand and J.Th. Lundbye. In this way, he can record the development of the drawing medium during the 19th century and show how these pencil strokes played a very special role in the creative work of the Golden Age artists I en tegning af den danske guldalderkunstner Wilhelm Marstrand med titlen ?Stræben efter Idealet? driver en bonde sit æsel frem ved at holde en lanse med hø for dens snude. Her må maddingen være idealet, og aspiranten med de ideale ambitioner må være æslet. Tegningen er udført med markante, brede, mørke linjer og hastigt anbragte skraveringer. Den mangler tydeligvis finish og er derfor ikke et færdigt værk i klassisk forstand. Men Marstrands tegning antyder samtidig den proces, som tegninger i guldalderen sædvanligvis indgik i. I den første del af 1800-tallet tjente tegninger og skitser kun som forarbejder til et færdigt maleri. En tegning anså danske billedkunstnere først og fremmest for et skridt mod endemålet, nemlig kunstnerens idealforestilling omsat til et maleri.00I Stræben efter Idealet. Guldalderens tegning får guldalderens tegnekunst for første gang særskilt opmærksomhed. For at forstå tegningen som kunstnerisk medium i guldalderen analyserer Thomas Lederballe, seniorforsker ved Kobberstiksamlingen hos Statens Museum for Kunst, fem væsentlige danske ku
