The Vilhelm Hammershøi
Digital Archive
The Vilhelm Hammershøi Digital Archive (ViHDA) offers unprecedented access to knowledge about the materials, techniques, and working process of one of Denmark’s most iconic artists, Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916). For the first time, a large number of his paintings have been systematically investigated through close visual study, multispectral imaging, and advanced scientific analysis by an interdisciplinary team of conservators, heritage scientists, imaging specialists, and art historians. The archive invites you to explore these findings through more than 130 artworks, compare paintings in an advanced image viewer, and download thousands of technical images that open new perspectives on Hammershøi’s art.
