St. Hans & Jørgen Sonne (1801-1890)


Three St. Hans Eve paintings by Jørgen Sonne
St. Hans night nature was believed to be so powerful that it could heal people of their illnesses, so the Danes flocked to the most well-known wells to get healed by drinking the water. They often stayed all night like you see in the painting below - the well is Helenegraven near Tisvilde
