Anna Ancher is one of the foremost Scandinavian impressionist painters; her sense of color and light and sensitive brush strokes are a pleasure for everyone to see. She worked in Skagen with her husband, Michael Ancher, a very accomplished artist in his own right. She also painted at the same time as P.S. Krøyer and many other famous Skagen artists. This richly illustrated book tells the story of her childhood, her life as an artist, wife, and mother. Included are unknown paintings, private photographs and drawings from her sketch book.

“Emigrants at Larsens Plads” by Petersen (1841-1911) is one of the most popular paintings in the Art Museum of Aarhus. It was painted in 1890 and already the following year it came to Aarhus. He has a keen eye for details, and because of the naturalistic qualities of the painting - it almost looks like a photograph - it has found its way to a large number of history books as an historical document. The essay sets out to question this use of painting by looking at his background in the aftermath of the tradition of the so-called Golden Age of Danish Painting, and goes on to take a closer look at the painter’s working method, technique, and artistic aims.

A very comprehensive book on the life and art of Carl Fredrik Hill (1849-1911). A Swedish artist who studied art in Stockholm and then travelled to Paris in the fall of 1873, where he was inspired by French art, while at the same time developed his own style of painting. In 1878 Hill was diagnosed with schizophrenia; however, he continued to work until his death in 1911. During this period he created a large body of works, which continues to inspire artists and writers today.

An exhibition presenting Gallen-Kallela Museum’s current artist guest, Jaakola. He grew up in a working-class home, he preserved a natural childlike quality, laced with hatred of authority even when he had earned fame and recognition. Jaakola’s primitivism in both his art and his lifestyle was carefully considered and civilized. He shared a deep and similar love of nature, the fantastical, individuality, Finnishness-and above all art.

Rørbye (1803-48) was the only Danish painter of the Golden Age who ventured to travel beyond Italy. The painting in Aarhus, dated 1846, is based on drawings and watercolours made on location in Greece and Turkey and on two oil-sketches from Italy. During his stay in Istanbul from December 20,1835 to February 1, 1836, he succeeded in making numerous sketches, but none in oil. The rich light and splendid colouring therefore must be the artist’s own contribution to the composition. His essay views the monuments of Istanbul as gigantic, romantic ruins of Constantinople.
