It is again evident in his oeuvre, after he moved, at the beginning of the 1880s, to Skagen, a fishermen’s village located in the extreme north of Denmark. The frequent use of models continued throughout the artist’s career. They will also reveal how his models were integrated into landscapes, such as the splendid Roses, executed in 1893 from the Skagen Museum, representing his wife reading beneath an immense rose bush in flower and in interior scenes such as the early picture entitled Artists’ Luncheon in Cernay-la-Ville (1879, Skagens Kunstmuseer, Skagen), executed when the young painter - who had trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen - continued his training in Léon Bonnat’s studio in Paris, while frequenting the realist painters who followed Léon Germain Pelouse in the Vallée de Chevreuse. This remarkable ensemble will enable visitors to discover his appearance, that of his wife, for example in the intimate double portrait executed in 1890 from the Skagen Museum, and that of his friends, such as the painter and poet Holger Drachmann (1895, Skagens Kunstmuseer, Skagen). The three aspects of his oeuvre will feature in the exhibition, which will bring together sixty of his paintings, which have rarely or never been seen in Paris. Krøyer, the master of the Danish painters at the end of the nineteenth century and, in particular, of Vilhelm Hammershøi, was a portraitist, painter of genre scenes, and a landscape painter.
Placed under the High Patronage of Queen Margrethe II, this scientific partnership will be complemented by the exhibition “Krøyer in Paris” at the Skagen Museum in spring 2022. This exhibition is the fruit of a three-year-long scientific partnership undertaken by the musée Marmottan Monet and the Skagen Museum. The musée Marmottan Monet will give visitors a chance to discover for the first time in France an ensemble of major works by the Danish painter Severin Krøyer (1851–1909).
