Lives at Strandgade 30
From 1898 to 1909 he lives with his wife at Strandgade 30, where he paints many of his best-known interiors. Ida often appears in them, usually seen from behind, and is also the model in similar works by her brother Peter Ilsted, Hammershøi’s lifelong friend, business partner and colleague.

Rilke writes about Hammershøi
Rainer Maria Rilke writes of the artist that he is not one of those about whom one can speak quickly: his work is wide-ranging and slow, and whenever one comprehends it, it offers an occasion to talk about what is important and essential in art. Rilke and Emil Nolde sought him out and both remarked on his retiring manner and reluctance to talk.
1906
A large exhibition in Hamburg
A large exhibition of Hammershøi’s work is organised in Hamburg.
