peter vilhelm kyhn (1819 - 1903)
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.
