Martinus Rørbye (May 17, 1803 - 1848) was a Danish painter of the so-called Golden Age of Danish art. Rørbye was born in Drammen, Norway, but the family moved back to Denmark when Norway gained its independence - on this very day in 1814.
Rørbye started his studies at the Royal Danish Academy at age 16, and won the lesser Gold Medal a few years later. He traveled widely in the Mediterranean area, Italy, Greece, and even Turkey, where not many Danish artists had been. He also explored Skagen as one of the very first artists, capturing the special light up there.
In his final years, before succumbing to stomach cancer, aged 45, he painted numerous canvases with Italian scenes, such as this one:
Det indre af Capella Palatina i Palermo, 1842 - oil on canvas (SMK)

One of the most underrated Danish artist I have come across, is Kay Nielsen, 1886-1957. Kay was the child of 2 Danish actors, and became an illustrator himself. Visiting Paris, London, New York and settling in Los Angeles, he tried to write about fairytales, mythology and anything in-between. His style is reminisced of the jugendstilen, from which his works get a very unique and special touch. Personally, I relate him a lot to the Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano, 1951-, whose style gives the same dreamy feeling. Nielsens works are mostly seen in books like East of The Sun - West of The Moon, however he also worked on the section in the Disney film Fantasia, involving Night on Bald Mountain. Properly most obscure, he also had some illustrations in erotic novels, that´s increasingly hard to find today. Here´s a small pick for some of my favorite illustrations form this amazing, underrepresented artist. Read more about Kay Nielsen here:
