Emil Carlsen

Emil Carlsen was born in Denmark and studied architecture in Copenhagen before immigrating to Chicago when he was nineteen. He specialized in painting still-life paintings in the manner of eighteenth-century French artist Jean-Baptiste Chardin. During a trip to Paris from 1884 to 1886, Carlsen began studying the French Impressionists and incorporating more light and brighter colors into his compositions. He later settled in Connecticut and painted landscapes. “By the Shore” features luminous color and loose brushwork characteristic of the later period of Carlsen’s career.
