Eiler Rasmussen Eilersen

Eiler Rasmussen Eilersen (1 March 1827 – 24 April 1912) was a Danish artist. He was one of the most popular Danish painters.

Eilersen was educated at the Royal Art Academy at Copenhagen in 1847. Eilersen mostly worked on landscapes from the island Fyn and forest scenes from northern Zealand. His works are known for their romantic charm and often included sunlit scenes at rivers or ponds. Many of Eilersen's works have been compared with the likes of J.P. Möllers and P.C. Skovgaard. Eilersen worked and traveled all around Europe and has done a long series of landscapes from Italy, France and Germany. Eilersen's works have been in demand both in and after his lifetime, and many of his works can be found in the collection of Nobles and Royal families.
