Peder Severin Kroyer was born on July 23, 1851, in Stavanger, Norway, and was raised by his aunt in Copenhagen. At the age of 14, he began his studies at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and later embarked on study trips to France, Spain, and Italy between 1877 and 1881, supported by the Danish art collector and entrepreneur Heinrich Hirschsprung. His journey to Paris particularly influenced his painting, and upon his return to Copenhagen, he became known as a portrait painter.
In 1882, Kroyer visited Skagen for the first time and was inspired by the rugged landscape, the sea, the unique lighting conditions, and the company of other artists. He became a member of the artist colony Skagensmalerne, which flourished in the 1880s. The painters of this artist association hailed from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway and valued painting en plein air. They were influenced by French realism and naturalism. This group included artists such as Frits Thaulow, Michael Peter Ancher, Anna Ancher, Carl Locher, Viggo Johansen, Christian Krohg, Eilif Peterssen, and Laurits Regner Tuxen.
Peder Severin Kroyer became famous for his impressionistic landscapes and portrait paintings, depicting the (seemingly) carefree life of the artists, their festivities, beach walks, and atmospheric evenings by moonlight.
In 1900, the painter suffered from mental illness and was treated several times in a psychiatric hospital. Kroyer passed away in Skagen on November 21, 1909.
