Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Peter Ilsted (1861–1933) was a leading Danish artist and printmaker.
Ilsted, Carl Holsoe and Ilsted’s brother-in-law, Vilhelm Hammershøi,
were the leading artists in early 20th century Denmark. All three
artists were members of ‘The Free Exhibition’, a progressive art society
created around 1890. They are famous for painting images of "Sunshine
and Silent Rooms", all in subtle colors. Their works reflects the
orderliness of a tranquil life –- similar to the earlier works of
Vermeer (showing 500 of 2715 characters). |
