Description
A central figure in red and blue robes is seated on a rock, addressing a diverse crowd of attentive listeners. Some individuals appear contemplative, while others are engaged in conversation, all set against a backdrop of a clear sky.
Digitally enhanced Public Domain Artwork of '' The Sermon on the Mount '', created by Carl Bloch, a Danish artist. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and studied there at the Royal Danish Academy of Art (Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi) under Wilhelm Marstrand.
Bloch's parents wanted their son to enter what they considered to be a respectable profession - an officer in the Navy. This, however, was not what he wanted. His only interest was drawing and painting, and he was consumed by the idea of becoming an artist.
He went to Italy to study art, passing through the Netherlands, where he became acquainted with the work of Rembrandt, which became a major influence on him. Bloch met his wife, Alma Trepka, in Rome, where he married her on 31 May 1868. They were happily married until her early death in 1886.
