The pastel was made by Anna Ancher after a stay in Paris, and although the motif is entirely Skagen, the work perhaps also bears a little touch of the southern sun and inspiration from the French Impressionists.

* * *

Anna Kirstine Brøndum was born in Skagen, Denmark the daughter of Erik Andersen Brøndum (1820–1890) and Ane Hedvig Møller (1826-1916). She was the only one of the Skagen Painters who was actually born and grew up in Skagen where her father owned the Brøndums Hotel. The artistic talent of Anna Ancher became obvious at an early age and she grew acquainted with pictorial art via the many artists who settled to paint in Skagen, in north of Jutland.

While she studied drawing for three years at the Vilhelm Kyhn College of Painting in Copenhagen, she developed her own style and was a pioneer in observing the interplay of different colours in natural light. She also studied drawing in Paris at the atelier of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes along with Marie Triepcke, who would marry Peder Severin Krøyer, another Skagen painter. In 1880 she married fellow painter Michael Ancher, whom she met in Skagen. They had one daughter, Helga Ancher. Despite pressure from society that married women should devote themselves to household duties, she continued painting after marriage.

Anna Ancher is considered to be one of the great Danish pictorial artists by virtue of her abilities as a character painter and colourist.Her art found its expression in Nordic art's modern breakthrough towards a more truthful depiction of reality, e.g. in Blue Ane (1882) and The Girl in the Kitchen (1883–1886).

Ancher preferred to paint interiors and simple themes from the everyday lives of the Skagen people, especially fishermen, women and children. She was intensely preoccupied with exploring light and colour, as in Interior with Clematis (1913). She also created more complex compositions such as A Funeral (1891). Anna Ancher's works have often represented Danish art abroad. She was awarded the Ingenio et Arti medal in 1913 and the Tagea Brandt Rejselegat in 1924.

Anna Ancher (1859-1935)

Anna Kirstine Brondum nació el 18 de agosto de 1859 en la ciudad danesa de Skagen, en el norte de Jutlandia. Era la hija del comerciante y propietario del Hotel Brøndums, Erik Brøndum (1820-1890) y de su esposa Ane Hedvig  Møller(1826-1916).

Anna demostró su  talento artístico desde pequeña y como no pudo estudiar en la Academia de Arte de Copenhague, porque no estaban permitidas las mujeres como alumnas, sus padres decidieron meterla a estudiar dibujo en la academia del paisajista danés Vilhelm Kyhn en Copenhague. Allí desarrolló un estilo propio en el que observaba la interacción de la luz natural sobre los objetos y las personas y de cómo daban como resulto diferentes colores. Pronto se familiarizó con el grupo de artistas que se habían instalado en Skagen,  y ella era la única de los “pintores de Skagen” que nació y creció en allí.

Anna se casó con el pintor Michael Ancher, a quien conoció en Skagen en 1880, en 1883 tuvieron una hija a la que llamaron Helga Catherine, que también será una gran pintora.

En 1884 adquirieron una residencia a la que en 1913 le añadirían un anexo como estudio de pintura. La cultura imperante dictaba que las mujeres casadas debían dedicarse a las tareas domésticas, pero Anna continuó pintando casada, pintando sobre todo escenas íntimas de interiores donde mujeres y niños hacían sus tareas diarias cerca de una ventana. Son obras que destacan por la riqueza de colores vivos en pinceladas decididas.

Anna Ancher fue una de las principales impulsoras del impresionismo en Dinamarca, un movimiento que aún alejado geográfica y cronológicamente, consiguió germinar y echar raíces en el país gracias a artistas como ella.

Ancher se ganó el respeto de la comunidad artística de su país con obras como este “Cosechadores” en la que describe un trabajo agrícola de gran importancia cultural en la zona de Jutlandia, como bien transmite esa solemnidad con la que desfilan ese hombre y las dos mujeres.

Anna Ancher (Aug. 18, 1859 - 1935) was one of the best of the Skagen Painters, and the only native of the town (She was the daughter of the local hotelier, Brøndum).

Her art is informed by her study of the Dutch 17th C. masters, and an Impressionist approach to light and color. Here is one of her finest interiors:
