P.C. Skovgaard (April 4, 1817 - 1875) was a Danish landscape painter of the National Romantic school - a late representative of the so-called Golden Age of Danish arts and sciences. He had trained at the Royal Academy under Eckersberg, but claimed that he learned little there. He preferred the company of his contemporaries - Marstrand and Lundbye - and venerated only few elders such as Købke.

Skovgaard painted extensively in Denmark and did not travel as much abroad (to Italy) as his contemporaries did. He dedicated himself to finding the sublime in the rather tame Danish landscape - beech trees, broad fields and waters, and the limestone cliffs of Møn.

The Painter's Wife Johanne Louise in a Purple Dress in the Garden Picking Laburnum by Viggo Pedersen, 1908

Viggo Christian Frederik Vilhelm Pedersen, born March 11, 1854 in Copenhagen, died April 19, 1926 in Roskilde, was a Danish painter. He was the son of Vilhelm Pedersen and the brother of Thorolf Pedersen.

Pedersen studied from 1871 at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and for P.C. Skovgaard and later for la Cour. After a long stay in Paris and Italy, he settled in the Danish countryside. He was one of the founders and main forces of the free exhibition, exhibited there since 1891 and became a member of the academy in 1903.

Pedersen started as a landscape painter, but also tried his hand at religious motifs, portraits, home and everyday depictions. During his studies abroad, he developed his pictorial perception in depth and power into brilliantly strong colorism. His landscapes were also intimately known and vigorously studied.

He studied at the Royal Academy from age 15, after having been taught since childhood by his artist father, P.C. Skovgaard. He traveled abroad, sometimes with Zahrtmann, and esp. trips to France, Italy and Greece set him on his path as a colorist artist.

MWW Artwork of the Day (2/28/22) Janus la Cour (Danish, 1837–1909) A Showery Landscape. Kalvø Vig, Jutland (1883) Oil on canvas, 124 x 192.5 cm. Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen

Technically, La Cour was probably one of the best painters of his generation.  Between 1857 and 1864 he attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and for part of this period lived with the great Danish landscape painter P.C. Skovgaard (1817-1875). Despite the age gap, the two men remained lifelong friends, and Skovgaard introduced La Cour to the intricacies of landscape art. Always less of a romanticist than his mentor sometimes tended to be, La Cour found endless fascination in nature, with its subtle shifts of mood and emotion, but stopped short of idealizing it.
