About the Item

Signed lower right, 'Find' for Ludvig Find (Danish, 1869-1945) and painted circa 1900. Ludvig Find first attended Copenhagen's School of Fine Arts and Kroyer's school (1888) before studying with Zahrtmann (1900). In Florence and Venice, (1893-4), Find made a close study of the works of the Renaissance masters, particularly those of Piero della Francesca. In the 1890s, while visiting Brittany, Find was first introduced into the circle of Paul Gauguin and Paul Serusier and became influenced by the modernist ideas of the Nabis and the Pont Aven . His extended trips to Paris (1902, 1904), deepened his exposure to Modernism and the influence of artists such as Vuillard, Bonnard and Renoir becomes noticeable. Back in Denmark, this exposure to the ferment of new ideas had a renewing effect and his solo exhibition of 1906 drew critical appreciation. He was thus one of the Danish artists who, at the earliest point in the new century, forged a connection with contemporary French art. In 1914, he moved to Baldersbrønde at Hedehusene, where he and his family lived until the 1940s. Over the course of a long career, Find exhibited internationally with success including at Den Frie Exhibition (1897-1945), the Charlottenborg (1896), Universal Exposition at Paris (1900, bronze medal), Munich's Glass Palace (1909, 1913), the Brooklyn Museum (1927), in Brighton (1912), Malmo (1914), and in Berlin (1910-1911), among others.
