Børge Christoffer Nyrop (15 January 1881 – 15 March 1948) was a Danish painter. His works include landscapes, cityscapes and genre scenes.
Biography
[edit]Nyrop was the son of the manufacturer Johan Ernst Nyrop. His great-uncle was Camillus Nyrop, a dealer in surgical instruments and artificial limbs. He is also related to Martin Nyrop, a well-known Danish architect.
After finishing high school, he longed for an artistic career. First he apprenticed with painter Jens Møller-Jensen (1869-1948), whom he helped with the fresco in Copenhagen City Hall. He then attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He graduated from the academy in 1907.
In 1907 he received the Sødringske præmie and in 1911 the Neuhausenske præmier.
He travelled to Paris to study (1910-1911) under the French artist en teacher Lucien Simon.[1]
Nyrop has been exhibited for more than thirty years at Kunsthal Charlottenborg (1907-1945).
Work
[edit]Nyrop travelled extensively in Denmark, where he painted the landscapes of the west coast of Jutland. In addition to Denmark and France, he also travelled and worked in Italy, The Netherlands and Belgium.
His painting Paris in the Spring (1911) was sold at Christie's in London on 24 March 1988 (lot 128) for £12,100. Ten years later (24 June 1998, lot 235) this painting was sold at Sotheby's in London for £20,000.[2] Christie's in Amsterdam offered the painting on 17 November 2009 (lot 125) for €25,000-35,000.[3]
Method
[edit]Nyrop is known especially for the fantastic lights and sunlit scenes in his bright and detailed land- and cityscapes.
