Ring’s work. They gave him a way to paint recognisable Danish places while exploring moments of hesitation, departure and change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this scene from Hedehusene, a man on a bicycle has been stopped at the crossing where Roskilde Road meets the Copenhagen to Roskilde railway. The diagonal lines of the road, tracks and barrier create tension across the composition. The train itself remains beyond the central action, leaving the waiting cyclist and the crossing as the real subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe railway had a personal connection for Ring. As a boy, he experienced a new railway line being constructed through his family’s land in the village of Ring.
