Niels Ryberg with his Son Johan Christian and his Daughter-in-Law Engelke, née Falbe

View through National Gallery of Denmark
The merchant Niels Ryberg, who built a fortune in international trading, wished to be viewed as the equal of the aristocracy. Juel painted him as landed gentry. His son, who married a young noblewoman, proudly shows off the manor park. The second half of the 18th century gave rise to an all-new view of nature inspired by Swiss philosopher Rousseau. Nature was no longer something to be conquered; it existed in a state of interplay with man. Jens Juel painted several of his subjects outside in nature, first in Switzerland 1777-79, then back in Denmark. Rousseau’s thinking meant that children were no longer regarded as small adults, but as young human beings with separate needs. Juel painted a RUNNING BOY (left) headed for his Copenhagen school, the first to have a playground.
