Museum: Reading Public Museum (Reading, Pennsylvania)

Technique: Oil On Canvas

Danish-born painter Carlsen immigrated to the United States in 1872. His extensive art training was all European, starting with the École des Beaux-Arts de Copenhagen, and then the Danish Royal Academy and Académie Julian. He counted impressionists Childe Hassam, J. Alden Weir, and John La Farge among his closest colleagues. Carlsen established his reputation primarily on Chardin-like, sensuous still-life compositions and delicate, atmospheric landscapes and seascapes, such as the current example.Although not officially a member of the Cos Cob group, the artist maintained close ties with the painters of the colony. In 1905 he built a home and studio in Falls Village, in northwest Connecticut, while maintaining residence in New York City.
