Explore the History of this artwork, Summer Evening on Skagen's Southern Beach.
Peder Severin Krøyer  was born in Stavanger, Norway, but spent his childhood with his aunt in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Skagen Painters were a group of  Danish artists who formed an artists' colony in the little Danish  village of Skagen, where they made a habit of  returning to paint every summer, and  Krøyer was part of this artistic community. Krøyer started painting in Skagen in the summer of 1882 and settled there permanently in 1889, after marrying Marie Triepcke. He became the central member of the group.
