Kroyer studied at the
Copenhagen Academy of Arts where he established his
ideals for creating compositions that showed a harmony
between beauty and nature. Kroyer frequently visited
Paris, where he was a student of Bonnat and became
influenced by the work of the Impressionists, which
further heightened his development of the use of light. |
