Stefan Viggo Pedersen (Dec. 26, 1891 - 1965) was a Danish artist, whose father was also a painter. He studied at the Royal Academy in the 1910s and was influenced by J.A. Jerichau and Vilhelm Wanscher to paint in a classical figurative style with no discernible influence from Modernism...

J.A. Jerichau (Dec. 12, 1890 - 1916) was a young Danish genius of a painter, trained at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen, after which he departed for Paris where he was meeting and learning from all the great contemporary Modernists, including Matisse and Picasso who invited him on a trip to Brittany where they would have collaborated. Alas, this never happened, because in 1916 Jerichau shot himself, cutting off a very promising career as a visionary artist.
