Peder Mørk Mønsted | Paesaggi invernali

Si ritiene che ci siano ben 18.000 i dipinti che il danese Peder Mørk Mønsted (1859-1941) abbia realizzato durante la sua lunga carriera.

I suoi motivi preferiti includono paesaggi invernali innevati, acque ferme e foreste.

Il suo lavoro presenta spesso scene di fitta foresta e vita rurale danese rese con un alto livello di precisione, creando una visione romantica e poetica della natura. Mønsted divenne rapidamente noto per la sua capacità di rappresentare la grandezza e l'aspetto monumentale del paesaggio, con un occhio per i dettagli ed i colori accurati.

I suoi studi approfonditi di diverse tecniche artistiche gli hanno permesso di mescolare il naturalismo accademico con un approccio quasi fotorealistico a soggetti familiari.

Peder Mørk Mønsted nasce il 10 dicembre 1859 vicino a Grenaa, in Danimarca. Iniziò la sua formazione artistica ad Aarhus prima di recarsi a Copenaghen per studiare all'Accademia di Copenaghen dal 1875-1879.

Emil Nolde | Pittore Espressionista

Emil Nolde (nato Hans Emil Hansen, 1867-1956) è stato un pittore ed incisore Tedesco-Danese. È stato uno dei primi espressionisti, membro di Die Brücke, ed è stato uno dei primi pittori di pittura ad olio e acquarello dell'inizio del XX secolo ad esplorare il colore.

È noto per la sua pennellata e la scelta espressiva dei colori.

I gialli dorati e i rossi profondi appaiono frequentemente nelle sue opere, conferendo una qualità luminosa a toni altrimenti cupi.

I suoi acquerelli includono paesaggi di tempesta vividi e minacciosi e fiori brillanti.

L'intensa preoccupazione di Nolde per il soggetto dei fiori rifletteva il suo interesse per l'arte di Vincent van Gogh.

Morten Lasskogen, 1986 | Surrealist 3D painter

Morten Lasskogen is a Copenhagen-based visual artist.

- "After working as a photographer for nearly 10 years, in 2018 I started experimenting with 3d. I discovered that a lot of the things i knew about lighting and composition worked more or less the same way as with photography, but the big difference was: 3d didn't have the same limits - I could literally control the sun"!

Camille Pissarro | White Frost, Woman Breaking Up Wood, 1890

• Painting, art in general, enchants me. It is my life. What else matters? When you put all your soul into a work, all that is noble in you, you cannot fail to find a kindred soul who understands you, and you do not need a host of such spirits. Is not that all an artist should wish for?
• When you do a thing with your whole soul and everything that is noble within you, you always find your counterpart.
• It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered something in its true character.
• Work at the same time on sky, water, branches, ground, keeping everything going on an equal basis... Don't be afraid of putting on colour... Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose the first impression.

Camille Pissarro | Le Marché de Gisors, Grande-Rue, 1885

On Monday mornings, Camille Pissarro often joined his wife Julie and a couple of their children, with some household helpers, for the two-and-a-half-mile excursion from their home in Éragny to attend market day in Gisors, a town of about four thousand inhabitants further down the Epte River.

Carl Vilhelm Holsøe (1863-1935) | 121 artworks | Part.²

Carl Vilhelm Holsøe (Aarhus, 12 March 1863 - Asserbo, 7 November 1935)⏯ was a Danish artist who primarily painted interiors.

olsøe's paintings include landscapes, still lifes and flowers, but like Hammershøi he primarily painted domestic interior scenes; they undoubtedly influenced each other, but it is impossible to know who first gravitated towards this subject. It was in general increasingly popular among Danish painters as the country became more industrial, with implications of refuge and restoration from professional life and the city.

Carl Vilhelm Holsøe | Pittore di interni

Il pittore Carl Vilhelm Holsoe (1863-1935), membro di spicco della scuola di pittura Danese nella seconda metà del XIX e all'inizio del XX secolo, era molto apprezzato da colleghi e collezionisti.

Carl Vilhelm Holsøe è nato nella Danimarca occidentale e si è trasferito a Copenaghen nel 1882 per studiare alla Kongelige Danke Kunstakademi.

Nel 1884 frequentò le lezioni alla Kunstnernes Studieskole sotto la guida di Peder Severin Kroyer.

Lì avrebbe stretto amicizia per tutta la vita con due personalità, Peter Ilsted ed Wilhelm Hammershoi, che avrebbero influenzato la direzione della sua intera carriera.

Ognuno ha preso come soggetto principale scene di interni basate sulle proprie famiglie, creando un genere dedicato alla "tranquillità domestica".
