Rudolf Vilhelm Valdemar Bertelsen was a Danish landscape painter who started his art studies in the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1846. Further on he trained as a drawing teacher with G.F Hetsch (1788-1864) at the Academy. He started with landscape painting quite late, when he was about 40 years old. He exhibited a number of times at the Salon Charlottenborg Art Exhibitions between 1878-94 From 1857 and for 45 years onwards he worked as a drawing teacher at Herlufsholm Boarding school which is located just outside Naestved, about 90km southwest of Copenhagen. Bertelsen predominantly, painted motifs from the Næstved region, in his last 10 years also some flower pictures. His art was gentle and careful, borne of a great love for nature and for artistic work. He is described as having a bright and winning temperament, and he was loved by everyone, both by his students and by the many artists who went in and out of the hospitable home, including A. Brendekilde, L. A. Ring, Gottschalk, Ludvig Find, Svend Hammershøi and others. Herlufsholm School is a private boarding school by the River Suså in Næstved and is Denmarks oldest and finest boarding school.

  • Goosander Birds On Ice Floes. Oil on Canvas 1918
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    A female and male Goosander bird on ice floes. In the center of the painting there is a smaller opening in the ice covered waters. This painting, by Christian Berg (1893-1976) is quite interesting and unusual for his works. It is signed "Ch. Berg" and dated 1918. Berg is mostly famous for his sculptures which was to become his signum works later in his life. He is known primarily for his abstract artworks. He was educated at the Technical School and Althin's painting school in Stockholm 1911–1914.

In the same year he moved to Paris and had a studio on rue Guénégaud. He studied with André Lhote and his interest in cubism was awakened.
