The hand behind it

Peder Severin Krøyer

Peder Severin Krøyer is the best known of the Skagen Painters, the artists who gathered at a fishing village on the northern tip of Denmark. He is loved for his long summer evening light, the soft blue hour when sea and sky melt together, and for lively scenes of fishermen and artists at table. Born in Stavanger, Norway, he grew up in Copenhagen and entered the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts at twelve. He later studied in Paris under Léon Bonnat, and from 1882 spent his summers in Skagen with Michael and Anna Ancher and their circle. His best known works include Summer Evening on Skagen’s Southern Beach (1893) and the Artists’ Luncheon at Skagen. His major paintings are in the Skagens Museum and the Hirschsprung Collection in Copenhagen. Our list includes his portrait of Anna Ancher, his friend and fellow Skagen painter.

Looking after it

Care and hanging

Keep it out of direct sun. Oil paint and varnish yellow and crack under prolonged UV. An interior wall away from a south-facing window is ideal.

Dust it, do not clean it. A dry, soft brush once or twice a year. No water, no sprays, no cleaning products.

Avoid damp and heat. Not above a radiator, not in a bathroom. Canvas expands and contracts with humidity.

Hang it at eye level. The centre of the painting about 145 cm (57 in) from the floor, on two fixings so it sits level.

Questions

How is the finish priced?

The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.

How long does it take?

Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.

Will it look exactly like the original?

It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.

What if I do not like it?

Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
