Peder Mork Monsted
Danish · 1859-1941
Signed "P Monsted, 1891"
Oil on canvas
Canvas: 21 1/2" high x 32 1/2" wide
Frame: 27 1/2" high x 38 1/2" wide
An engaging forest landscape by Danish master Peder Mork Monsted, acclaimed as one of the leading Danish artists at the turn of the century. Like many of his contemporaries, Monsted viewed nature as a symbol of purity and he was a master at rendering the effects of the changing seasons and natural light with such incredible detail that his paintings have an almost photographic quality. His paintings pay homage to the glorious Scandinavian countryside in a way that engages the viewer, drawing them into the scene. Today, Mönsted is celebrated as the greatest landscapist of his time. Born at the end of the 'golden age' of Danish painting, Mönsted's remarkable eye for detail and color is unquestionably a product of that era. His naturalistic, plein air compositions are incredible in terms of their clarity and use of light.
Monsted was born in Balle near Ganaa in eastern Denmark before moving to Copenhagen. He studied at the Academy between 1875 and 1876, under Andries Fritz (1828 1906), a landscape and portrait painter, and was taught figure painting by Julius Exner (1825 1910). Here, he studied and was greatly influenced by the work of artists such as Christen Kobke (1810-1848), an outstanding colorist and Pieter Christian Skorgaard (1817 1875), a romantic nationalist painter. Monsted travelled extensively throughout his long career, being a frequent visitor to Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Italy, North Africa and the Mediterranean. Monsted relished in painting the Danish landscape and coastline, subject matters that proved to be his most captivating. His works reflect a romantic and highly poetic view of nature ingeniously translated into the grandest landscapes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
