Søren Hjorth Nielsen was a Danish painter and illustrator. He is remembered for his paintings of the allotments and outskirts of Copenhagen and later for his landscapes of the Bramsnæs Vig area in northwestern Zealand. He was a professor of painting at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1957 to 1971.
His painting was essentially realistic, sometimes bordering on the grotesque. For a time he also worked as a portrait painter. His favourite subjects included the allotments and harbour districts of Copenhagen. His landscapes included summer scenes at Vester Åby on Funen and around Bramsnæs Vig on the west coast of Zealand; the houses and vegetation in the bottom half of the paintings contrasted with the stillness of the low-set horizon. In his later years, he painted a number of summer and winter scenes from his house at Tempelhuse to the south-east of Holbæk.
His work developed from Expressionism in his early years to participation in the renewal of Danish landscape painting. He was also active in etchings and woodcuts covering studies of models at the Academy, sketches during his travels or landscape depictions. He was also a keen draftsman, often producing crayon drawings as a basis for his oils.
Peter Vilhelm Carl Kyhn was a Danish landscape painter who belonged to the generation of national Romantic artists. Although he outlived many of his colleagues by several decades, he remained a traditionalist and was sharply critical of many new trends in painting of his time. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
Peter Wilhelm Kyhn retained the freshness of his vision until the end of his life. He depicted a naturalistic landscape, showing and celebrating the nature of his country, especially exploring the countryside.
Kyhn also played a role as an educator, founding several schools of alternative art, including a painting school for women.
