Oriel
Gorwel presents a series of high quality giclee prints
Axel
Johansen was one of the leading Danish painters of his time and
exhibited regularly at the Danish equivalent of the Royal Academy.
Born in Roskilde, Denmark in 1872, he served his apprenticeship
with the then well-known restoration painters: Mollmand & Co.
in Copenhagen. It was here that he was recognized as being a very
talented artist and craftsman. He later studied at the Royal Art
Academy in Copenhagen for four years and from that point never looked
back. In 1905 he travelled to Italy, 1912 he was in Germany, and
in 1921 he went to Italy again and France.
His
paintings cover a whole range of subjects, especially reflecting
his love of the sea and ships. The majority of his works are of
Copenhagen scenes, in particular of the harbour and the sea. He
was also a very fine portrait painter. The Danish Royal family has
a large collection of his works.
