Portrait of the artist
Hans Fredrik Gude by Julius Amatus Roeting, 1861
"All his life he searched for a painterly approach which would help him capture the underlying meaning of the Icelandic way of life, to say something about our temperament as well as our surroundings. He found watercolors and oils had mutual qualities, and tried to use their attributes to the fullest...
Ásgrímur Jónsson was an Icelandic painter and one of the first in the country to make art a professional living. He was born on the farm Suðurkot in Rútsstaðahverfi in South Iceland in 1876. He studied at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen between 1900 and 1903. During that time he traveled to Germany and spent a year in Rome while regularly returning to Iceland in the summers to paint his landscapes. He moved back to Iceland in 1909, a time of prosperity, not least in the city, Reykjavík, and the towns along the coast which had grown rapidly.
