The Skagen Painters were a group of late 19th-century Danish artists who gathered in the fishing village of Skagen, located at the northern tip of Denmark. They were known for their unique approach to painting, focusing on natural light and the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. Their works often depicted scenes of everyday life, capturing the essence of the local culture and environment. Key figures among the Skagen Painters included Peder Severin Krøyer, Anna Ancher, and Michael Ancher. They were influenced by the Impressionist movement and sought to portray the effects of light and color in their art. The group played a significant role in the development of modern Danish painting.
