What drew a group of artists to Denmark’s northernmost tip? Was it the light, the friendships within the artists’ community, or the fishermen who became the subjects of their paintings?
This programme introduces students to the Skagen Painters, the subjects they portrayed and the techniques they used. We explore painting outdoors and discuss how the artists sought to capture the atmosphere of a fleeting moment on canvas.
