art history meme - (1/5) movements or centuries

The Skagen Painters were a group of Scandinavian artists who gathered in the area of Skagen from late 1870’s to the turn of the century. Skagen was a summer destination whose scenery and quality of light attracted northern artists to paint en plein air following the French Impressionists—though members of the Skagen collective were also influenced by realist movements such as the Barbizon school. The group of artists included P. S. and Marie Krøyer, Michael and Anna Ancher, Laurits Tuxen and Carl Locher (+more).
