Sense and Sensibility or Hammershøi: You Decide
From a wonderful blog post by Jane Flanagan: Hammershøi in Sense & Sensibility:
On the weekend, I watched Sense & Sensibility (again, it’s always on!) This time I was struck by some beautifully painterly moments in the movie. In particular, there were lots of stills that reminded me of Hammershøi paintings. This impression hit me so strongly, I became convinced that Hammershøi must have been on the inspiration board for the movie. Whether it’s true or not, I like that idea a lot. Here are some stills alongside some Hammershøi paintings so you can see for yourself!
