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.
Anton Eduard Kieldrup was a Danish artist. He studied painting at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
Anton Eduard Kieldrup belonged to the young generation of landscape painters. He broke free from the influence of his predecessors as a landscape painter and depicted the nature of his homeland in fresh colours rather than arrangements.
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.
Johan Thomas Lundbye was a Danish painter and graphic artist known for his landscapes of his native country and depictions of animals.
He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and responded to the call to develop national art by depicting Denmark's characteristic landscapes, monuments and historical sites, as well as its inhabitants.
Lundby's views of mounds, cliffs and coastlines were appreciated - he became one of the national Romantic artists of his generation.

Julius Stockfleth was a Denmark-born painter of landscapes and marine subjects, who settled in Galveston in 1885 and painted the city's docks, harbor, and ships. He created a series of paintings documenting the city during the 1900 hurricane and its subsequent rebuilding, which are the only known contemporary paintings of the disaster. Stockfleth left some 100 paintings of Texas subjects painted in a naïve realist style. After living in Galveston for two decades, he returned to Germany in 1907 and painted local scenes until his death. His work is in the collection of the Rosenberg Library.
