Description
The Taj Mahal by moonlight, with the mosque beyond
Hugo Vilfred Pedersen (Danish, 1870-1959)
oil on canvas, signed Hugo v. P lower right
89 x 125 cm.
Footnotes:
For another example of the same subject, to which Pedersen frequently returned, see Christie's, Travel, Science and Natural History, 25th April 2012, lot 240; Visions of India, 5th June 1996, lots 152 and 153. The same moonlit view is used as a poignant backdrop in a work sold in these rooms (Bonhams, Islamic and Indian Art, 25th October 2021, lot 265), depicting the aged Emperor Shah Jahan imprisoned overlooking it.
Pedersen studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, and afterwards spent twelve years travelling in the Far East and India. He was probably present at the Delhi Durbar in 1903, painting a portrait of the Viceroy, Lord Curzon.
