Peter Ilsted A C Krog 1929 Mezzotinte Opus 57. Minister A. C. Krogh after C. A. Jensen Painting

Mezzotinte Opus 57. Minister A. C. Krogh after C. A. Jensen Painting Peter Ilsted, (1861-1933) Peter Ilsted was one of the foremost turn of the twentieth century artists in Denmark. His art expresses the essence of life in Copenhagen at the turn of the century: tranquility and orderliness, contentment with home and family and the isolation from the political and social turmoil in the countries to the South. He was one of a group of Danish artists known for works of sun-filled rooms utilizing subtle colors, simplistic interiors inhabited with one or more figures. Ilsted, however, was the only member of the "Copenhagen Interior School" who focused on printmaking.
