Brendekilde and practiced their tradition of painting. His motifs reflect the innocence of the simple life on the farm, in the village, and among the Alps. / In addition to country scenes throughout Denmark, he's very well known for motifs of village life in mountainous European countries such as Austria, Bavaria, Switzerland, and Sweden. / He educated at the Technical School in Copenhagen and was a pupil of Jacob Meyer. / He sold "An afternoon excursion on the lake" for $4,626 at Sotheby's, London in March 1990 (Lot 101, 10 1/4" by 27 1/6")." Please Note: Cunningham titled this painting "Summer Day in Austria" however "Interlaken" at the lower right of the painting indicates that the sight of this landscape was Interlaken, Switzerland.
