Frederik Vermehren
1823 - 1910
Johan Frederik (Frits) Nikolai Vermehren, also known as Frederik Vermehren, a genre and portrait painter in the realist style. His artistic career took place during the period of Danish art known as the Golden Age of Danish Painting. Vermehren, along with his fellow artists Christen Dalsgaard (1824-1907) and Julius Exner (1825-1910), were prominent in the Danish genre of painting; they depicted ordinary people of the country, especially farmers and other country folk. His idealised depictions helped define and encourage Denmark's period of national romanticism.
