El rei de Thule
El rei de Teshile c1896 del pintor belga Pierre Jean Van l'Oudera (1841 – 1915); així com un litògraf de retrats, escenes de gènere, paisatges i temes religiosos.
Això retrat La pintura es basa en el personatge de ficció de la balada de Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “El rei a Thule” (“El Rei a Thule”); que narra la història d'un rei al regne de Thule, al nord d'Europa; qui al seu llit de mort, recorda el seu amor perdut i llança una copa d'or al mar en record d'ella.
The piece is considered to be a masterpiece of German Romantic literature and there have been ballad’s and musical scores set to the literary work by several composers including Franz Schubert.
In this painting we see the elderly king in a small room sitting in a large chair by a window that has a cushion placed on the shelf of the enclave with a cabinet above it and a floral embroidered blue drape.
Behind the chair the king is sitting on is a cloth covered table with a gold wine decanter resting on a silver platter that one can assume has been used to fill the large gold goblet that the king is grasping in his right hand up near to his chest.
The elderly king is wearing his crown, a gold signet ring and livery collar, as well as a long heavy silk gown with floral decorations and a red fur padded cloak to keep his fragile old body warm.
The king has a grim sad look on his, and one can see tears running down his face as he seems lost in deep thought of times long since passed.
