Andreas Friis: A twentieth century Danish
painter and etcher of landscapes, Andreas Friis studied art techniques
at the Copenhagen Academy (1910-1913) and in Paris, under Maurice Denis
(1913-1914). He first exhibited his art in Copenhagen in 1915 and continued
to exhibit his paintings and etchings in Denmark, Norway and elsewhere
until his death in 1983. Andreas Friis travelled to and worked in such
locations as Paris, Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Marseille, Rome, Florence,
Oslo and Spain. Today the art of Andreas Friis is included in such collections
as the Vejle Kunstmuseum, Fuglsang Kunstmuseum, Bornholms Kunstmuseum,
and the Stat. Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen. |

Andreas Friis was one of the first Danish artists to be
influenced by the theories and techniques of the modern French school,
most particularly Cezanne and Gauguin. Another primary element within
his art was his interest in the masters of the Italian Renaissance. |

Friis has written the probable location of this scene along the lower margin. As
far as I can decipher the wording he has written, "Nelmefoa, 1925. |
