Le visioni poetiche della natura di Peder Mønsted

Nato alla fine dell'"Età dell'oro" (1800-1860) della pittura danese, Peder Mork Mønsted (1859-1941) si è fatto una reputazione principalmente come paesaggista naturalista, ammirato soprattutto per il suo punto di vista poetico.

La sua prima formazione artistica è stata alla Prince Ferdinand School of Art di Aarhus, in Danimarca, dove ha studiato con il paesaggista Andreas Fritz, che ha influenzato lo sviluppo del giovane artista.

Mønsted è poi entrato all'Accademia di Copenaghen nel 1875, ma se ne è andato nel 1879 senza sostenere l'esame finale, scegliendo invece di continuare i suoi studi in modo indipendente con artisti affermati, tra cui il pittore di genere e paesaggista realista danese Peder Severin Krøyer e dil pittore accademico francese William-Adolphe Bouguereau.

He was known especially for his history paintings, and especially those depicting strong, tragic, legendary women in Danish history.

He also produced works of many other genres including landscapes, street scenes, folk scenes and portraits.
