Michael Ancher (b. Bornholm 1849, d. Skagen 1927)
“Redningsbåden går ud”. The lifeboat goes out. Study. Signed and dated M.A. 95. Oil on canvas. 32×42 cm.
Michael Ancher left the Academy in 1875 to stay for longer periods in Skagen. He became very interested in the life and work of the fishermen and as he got to know their hard life more and more, his paintings took on a more realistic character. There is no Danish painter who has taken so much effort in depicting the life of the Skagen fishermen as Michael Ancher.
In need of a surface cleaning. Minor crackles.
