Thorvald Hagedorn-Olsen (June 1, 1902 – 1996) was a Danish Academy-trained painter. He was friends with the Fynbo-painters but followed his own path artistically with his use of heavy earth colors and shapes.

Niels Hansen (June 22, 1880 - 1946) was a Danish marine, landscape and portrait painter, regarded as one of the four great Fynbomalere. He studied briefly at Zahrtmann's school and spent some time in Paris where he picked up some influence from the Impressionists, and other than that he was self-taught.

Hansen was a co-founder of Grønningen and frequently showed at Charlottenborg. He settled on the small island of Thurø, south of Funen, and lived there for 25 years, not least because he could indulge his passion for yachting there.
