The Skagen Painters
P.S. Krøyer: Sommeraften ved Skagens strand. Kunstneren og hans hustru 1899, Den Hirschsprungske Samling
Discover the artists of the famous Skagen colony on this guided tour. See major works by Anna and Michael Ancher, P.S. Krøyer and Viggo Johansen, and learn what drew Scandinavian artists to Denmark’s northernmost town in the late 19th century.
The tour explores iconic scenes of fishermen at work, coastal landscapes in the blue hour and intimate interiors. You will also hear about museum founders Pauline and Heinrich Hirschsprung’s close friendship with Krøyer, a relationship that helped shape what is now the largest collection of his work outside Skagen.
