The Danish-Norwegian painter Peder Severin Krøyer was one of the most prominent representatives of the so-called artists' colony Skagen. The group of Swedish, Norwegian and Danish artists had their heyday at the end of the 19th century in the Danish fishing village of Skagen. Artistically inspired by the Impressionists, the painters turned away from the academic style of painting to devote themselves to a formally unattached open-air painting. Like the role models from France, they too relied on the effect of light and color, on mood and above all on the visualization of the stroke of the brush. This exhibition catalogue is lavishly illustrated and contains artist biographies.
