From the late 1870s until the turn of the century, a group of Scandinavian artists descended on Skagen, a village in the northernmost part of Denmark, every summer drawn by the light, a translucent light that merged the sea & the sky, especially during the evening “blue hour. Inspired by the “en plein air” techniques of French Impressionist painters like Claude Monet, they broke away from tradition and developed their own unique styles.
