Hans Scherfig - Large-Scale Jungle Painting, Signed and Dated 1948
Reserved by customer
Hans Scherfig (1905–1979)
A rare major work by Danish artist Hans Scherfig – a large, exceptional, and highly distinctive painting created in 1948, signed and dated.
Executed in tempera on masonite and measuring an impressive 101 x 122 cm, the work represents one of Scherfig’s most detailed and fully realized jungle compositions. It showcases his signature visual universe: lush, utopian nature scenes populated with stylized, almost iconic animals and plants.
This painting ranks among the most significant in Scherfig’s oeuvre. A composition of extraordinary complexity and beauty – overflowing with color, life, and narrative richness. Every inch of the surface is inhabited by Scherfig’s characteristic flora and fauna: elephants, black panthers, wild boars, monkeys, snakes, birds, insects, and a vibrant array of exotic plant life. A living jungle teeming with detail, where the viewer can continually discover new stories and visual delights.
Hans Scherfig is celebrated not only for his unique style – which blends naïve art with political and ecological undertones – but also for creating accessible, engaging works that resonate with both children and adults. His jungle paintings are instantly recognizable and deeply beloved in Denmark, and increasingly appreciated internationally.
This is a true masterpiece – both in scale and artistic quality. Works of this caliber, size, and complexity by Scherfig are extremely rare on the market. A museum-worthy piece of Danish modern art history.
