"En Smedie I Syrakus" (A Smithy in Syracuse) is a painting by Danish artist Niels Christian Hansen, created in 1893. The work is a notable example of Hansen's artistic output and reflects the 19th-century European academic art tradition. The painting depicts a scene set in a blacksmith's forge in the ancient city of Syracuse, with a focus on the interplay of light and shadow, as well as the detailed representation of the figures and their environment.

Niels Christian Hansen (1850-1922) was a Danish painter who received his artistic education at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. He was known for his genre scenes, historical paintings, and portraits. Hansen's work often included classical and historical themes, which were popular during his time. "En Smedie I Syrakus" is a testament to his skill in capturing historical accuracy and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of narrative and life.

The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, from the texture of the metalwork to the expressions of the figures within the smithy. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, adds a dramatic effect to the composition, highlighting the physical effort and heat of the forge. Hansen's choice of subject matter reflects a fascination with the classical world that was prevalent among many artists of the period.

"En Smedie I Syrakus" is part of the collection of the Danish National Gallery (Statens Museum for Kunst) in Copenhagen, where it contributes to the representation of Danish art from the late 19th century. The painting is often cited in discussions of Hansen's work and is considered an important piece within the context of Danish art history for its representation of labor and craftsmanship in the classical era.
