Morning Light 1836 Oil on canvas, 107 x 162 cm Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen In 1833 Købke moved with his parents to Blegdammen by the Sortedam Lake, then located outside of Copenhagen proper. In the years that followed he found many of his motifs by the lake. Købke also found the scene shown in this picture close to his home, at the end of the lake. It shows Østerbrogade, the principal shopping street and thoroughfare in Østerbro, still rural back in those days, edged by distinguished farm buildings. ## Related artworks - [A View of the Square in the Kastel Looking Towards the Ramparts]() - [Portrait of Adolphine Købke, Sister of the Artist]() - [Portrait of Frederik Sødring]() - [Self-Portrait]() - [The Garden Steps Leading to the Artist's Studio on Blegdammen]() - [View from a Window in Toldbodvej Looking Towards the Citadel in Copenhagen]() - [View of One of the Lakes in Copenhagen]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
