Peder Severin Kroyer was a Norwegian-born Danish painter, and is considered to be one of the most famous “Painters of Light” during the 19th century.

The Artists’ Luncheon

Kroyer studied at the Copenhagen Academy of Arts where he established his ideals for creating compositions that showed a harmony between beauty and nature. Kroyer frequently visited Paris, where he was a student of Bonnat and became influenced by the work of the Impressionists, which further heightened his development of the use of light.
