Viggo Johansen (1851-1935) Danish painter. Oil on canvas, 127x158 cms The Hirschsprung Collection, Copenhagen, Denmark: www.hirschsprung.dk/Image.aspx?id=97&col=6 It is Christmas in the home of the Johansen family with the artist’s wife and family dancing and singing round the Christmas tree in the living room. The painting had been begun Christmas 1890, but finally finished in April 1891. The work of the intervening months had required the windows of the room to be covered, the candles relit, and the models to be posed in turn by the tree. As time passed, the Christmas tree began to shed, and fresh branches were obtained to replace them. Johansen’s efforts culminated to produce one of his most well-loved, popular works.

It was much bigger and more beautifully decorated than the one she had seen when she peeped through the glass doors at the rich mercant's house this very Christmas. Thousands of lighted candles gleamed under it branches. and many colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop windows, looked down at her. The little girl stretched out both her hands toward them_then out went the match. All the Christmas candles rose higher and higher, till she sw that they were only the twinkling stars. One of them fell and made a bright streak across the sky. From the Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. Can view large: farm4.static.flickr.com/3125/3127169392_41f541ffb5_b.jpg
