Hammershøi painted around the start of the 20th century and many of his pictures have a distinct coolness and distance about them. Palin, wanting to know of his inspirations and the reason for these mystical pictures, starts his search in Hayward Gallery in London, goes to Amsterdam and finally the painters home town, Copenhagen (Denmark).

Michael Palin & the Mystery of Hammershøi Audience Reviews

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Niamh Downes This programme was done brilliantly well. I loved the woman playing the piano at the beginning I found Micheal Palin's voice as he described some of Hammersoi's paintings haunting and stuck in my mind. I must say I felt that I wanted to know more after the programme finished. As I watched this programme I felt I got into it more and more. It was wonderfully directed by Eleanor Yule and produced by Mahri McNeal. I thought all the music was beautifully chosen and perfect for the mellow mood of the show. Palin described the atmosphere of the places he visited so well I felt I was in the room with him. Watching it makes me want to know even more about him. Wonderfully made show recommend to all audiences.
