Stort Tillykke med fødselsdagen til Anna Ancher.
Den eneste af Skagens malerne, der faktisk var skagbo...
Anna Ancher er uden tvivl en af Danmarks største malere. Hendes sans for lys og farver, hendes sans for mennesker er enestående.
Hun blev født 18. august 1859 i Skagen som Anna Kirstine Brøndum, datter af kroparret bag det, der senere blev det berømte Brøndums Hotel. Hun var den eneste af Skagensmalerne, der rent faktisk kom fra Skagen. Og modsat så mange andre piger og kvinder i perioden fik hun fuld opbakning til at studere maleri og kaste sig ud i en kunstnerisk karriere.
Det nye efternavn fik hun, da hun i 1880 giftede sig med sin malerkollega Michael Ancher. Det er ham, der har malet hende her på det flotte portræt, som hænger på 3. sal på Frederiksborg.
🌏Anna Ancher is without doubt one of Denmark’s greatest painters. Her sense of light and colour, and her understanding of people, are truly exceptional.
She was born on 18 August 1859 in the small fishing village of Skagen as Anna Kirstine Brøndum, the daughter of the innkeepers behind the now famous Brøndums Hotel. She was the only one of the "Skagen painters" who actually came from Skagen. And unlike so many other girls and women of the period, she had her parents' full support to pursue an artistic career.
In 1880, she married fellow painter Michael Ancher. It was he who painted her in this beautiful portrait, which can be seen on the third floor at Frederiksborg.
