Exposition Universelle
Peder Henrik Kristian Zahrtmann, known as Kristian Zahrtmann, (31 March 1843 – 22 June 1917) was a Danish painter. He was a portion of the Danish artistic generation in the late 19th century, along bearing in mind Peder Severin Krøyer and Theodor Esbern Philipsen, who broke away from both the strictures of usual Academicism and the line of the Golden Age of Danish Painting, in favor of naturalism and realism.
He was known especially for his records paintings, and especially those depicting strong, tragic, legendary women in Danish history. He as well as produced works of many supplementary genres including landscapes, street scenes, folk scenes and portraits. He had a far-reaching effect upon the move on of Danish art through his effective support of individual style in the middle of his students during the many years he taught. In addition, his bold use of color dazzled contemporaries and has been seen as an anticipation of Expressionism by art historians.
