Peder Severin Kroyer

Summer Evening at Skagen

US$ 660.00

The artist’s wife Marie and a companion walk at the shoreline in the long northern dusk, everything drained to blue and silver, the sea barely distinguishable from the sky. Kroyer painted this specific light — the hour after sunset that lingers for an hour in a Danish summer — better than anyone before or since. Calm, luminous, and remarkably easy to live with.

Artist

Peder Severin Kroyer (1851-1909) was the central figure of the Skagen painters, the colony of Scandinavian artists who gathered at the northern tip of Denmark to work in its extraordinary light. He was trained in Copenhagen and Paris, and spent his last years losing his sight and his mental health, still painting. The blue hour at Skagen is his signature and his legacy.
