Description:

Bing & Grondahl Unique Carl Locher Plate with motif of the Birth of Venus. Measures 20cm. Rarely seen early unique work. Maybe made by him to test his abilities as a porcelæn painter.

Carl Locher (1851-1915) was a Danish realist painter who from an early age became a member of the Skagen group of painters.

Even before he began his studies at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in 1872, he was encouraged by Holger Drachmann to spend a couple of months in Skagen, the artists colony in the far north of Jutland. He quickly completed paintings of the beach, some with fishing boats or wrecks. He also became interested in the horse-drawn carriage which travelled along the beach on its journey from Frederikshavn.[1]

In the 1870s, Locher continued his studies in Paris but he visited Skagen whenever he was back in Denmark. Ultimately he had a house built there where he lived until his death.

Supported by the State, he opened an etching school for Danish artists in Copenhagen where he taught until 1900. Skagen painters such as Anna Ancher and Michael Ancher and P.S. Krøyer attended the school.
