Viggo Pedersen was lauded in his time for his landscapes and genre scenes. His work communicates the influence of his teachings and his travels. Pedersen was taught by classical, romantic painters of the Danish Golden Age during his time at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
His tendency to capture Denmark’s countryside and seascapes illuminated by a dramatic sun touches on this influence. However, Pedersen also took inspiration from the French Barbizon School and the movement in Denmark towards realism.
