Abstract

The article describes the works of Danish painter Peder Severin Krøyer while in Copenhagen, Denmark and Paris, France. He notes that the painter is best known for the landscape and figural paintings he produced as a member of fin-de-siècle art colony in Skagen, Denmark. He demonstrates that Krøyer's experimentation with styles and techniques observed and learned in Paris were not mere flourishes but strategic moments in his attempt to usher a negotiated modernism into the field of Danish painting.
