Ludvig Find (May 16, 1869 - 1945) was a Danish Modernist painter who did some of his best work while still a student - first a couple of years at the Academy, then much longer with Krøyer and Zahrtmann. His work was Symbolist at the time with lines back to the Renaissance. Later he became much more traditional in his art.

Poul S. Christiansen (Oct. 20, 1855 - 1933) was a Danish artist and illustrator, trained at the Zahrtmann School of Painting where he stayed on for 20 years as Kristian Zahrtmann’s right hand man.

Success came hard for Christiansen, but after some successful Dante paintings, he became more accepted, esp. as a portrait painter. He often traveled with Zahrtmann to Cività d'Antino where he found appealing landscape scenes, too.

Karl Schou (March 9, 1870 - 1938) was a Danish landscape painter, trained at Zahrtmann’s school. He usually painted in small formats with a restrained palette, but occasionally he did epic murals, for instance for Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen. His motto was “To paint is to be quiet.”

He is represented well in Danish museums, and also in the Norwegian National Gallery where this canvas is taken from:

Fritz Syberg (July 28, 1862 - 1939) was a Danish painter associated with the Funen Painters, many of whom had studied at the Zahrtmann School (the rival school opposing the Royal Academy at the time). Syberg attended the Academy for a short while but then skipped over to Zahrtmann as one of his earliest acolytes and became much more of a colorist under his tutelage…
