Danish painters in the 19th century may have turned to an unusual source for some of their supplies: breweries.
This image provided by the Statens Museum For Kunst shows the 1834 painting"The 84-Gun Danish Warship 'Dronning Marie' in the Sound" by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg. Danish painters in the 19th century had some special ingredients up their sleeves: They used materials from brewing beer to create their artwork, according to research published in the journal Science Advances on Wednesday, May 24, 2023.
“Then, by surprise, we found something completely different," said Andersen, a paintings conservator at the Royal Danish Academy. To get a peek underneath their scenes of bobbing ships and family portraits, researchers used pieces of canvas that had been trimmed off the paintings in an earlier conservation project.
Their results showed that seven of the 10 paintings contained mixes of yeast, wheat, rye and barley proteins — some of the key ingredients for a good Danish ale.
