Peder Severin Kroyer / by Geoff Harrison

The artist Vilhelm Hammershoi (see previous post) had a Danish tutor Peder Severin Kroyer who was described as a rumbustious realist who had quite a repertoire.  Anything from rugged industrial scenes to interiors of taverns or beauties strolling the beach.
