At the end of one corridor, a ‘View of the Water’ captivates us. The painting was created this year on the Danish island of Ærø. Almost bare trees still obscure the view at the sea, which is further restricted by two hills. I feel a real pull from this picture – I want to go through the trees, through the narrowness to the vastness and infinity of the blue water, to the open, unobstructed horizon.
