Pauline Thomsen

Pauline Thomsen: Bisholt ved Horsens Bugt (1896)

Pauline Marthea Georgine Bergstrøm Thomsen (17 July 1858 – 16 April 1931) was a Danish painter and art teacher.[1]

Biography

Born in Roskilde, from 1877 to 1880 Thomsen attended Vilhelm Kyhn's art school in Copenhagen as the Academy did not admit women until 1888.[2] She adopted his Romantic approach in the landscapes she painted first in Zealand and later in the area around Ry and Himmelbjerget in Jutland. Her landscapes seldom include figures but often have striking groups of trees. Like Kyhn, she gave the sky and cloud formations an important place in her paintings. Her few portraits are mainly pen-and-ink or charcoal drawings. She exhibited at Charlottenborg from 1885 to 1931 but also exhibited at Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling in 1905 and 1907.[1][2]
