Anna Ancher

Anna Ancher, born in 1859 in Skagen and died in 1935 in Skagen, was a Danish painter associated with the Skagen Painters and the Impressionist movement. Her works, such as 'Sunlight in the Blue Room' and 'A Funeral,' are admired for their atmospheric effects and depiction of light, capturing the essence of Danish domestic life and coastal scenery. Ancher's contributions to Scandinavian art and her exploration of light and color have made her a significant figure in late 19th and early 20th-century painting, reflecting the natural beauty and simplicity of her time.
