The art painting baron

In 2017, the artist Arild Rosenkrantz's former apartment and studio at the castle was converted into a gallery where a different themed exhibition is shown each year. It is now possible to book a guided tour of the collection.

Arild Rosenkrantz lived and worked as a painter at the castle from 1940 to 1962. He was classically trained in Rome and Paris, and the collection at Rosenholm includes early symbolist works, book illustrations, including Edgar Allan Poe's "Mysterious Tales", a large number of preparatory works for church windows in England and, in recent years, works inspired by Rudolf Steiner and Goethe's colour theory.

Der er fortsat international interesse for Arild Rosenkrantz, som i 2017 var repræsenteret på Guggenheims udstilling “Mystical Symbolism” både i New York og Venedig. Senere var han aktuel med et maleri på udstillingen “Art and Magic” fra 29. september 2018 til 27. januar 2019 i Palazzo Roverella i Rovigo i Norditalien. Siden da har hans værker været vist på flere internationale udstillinger, og interessen for hans kunst vokser fortsat – både i Danmark og i udlandet.

En visning i galleriet kan bestilles ved henvendelse til Sys Ehlers på e-mail: sysehlers@privat.dk.
