![Vilhelm Hammershøi](https://www.foundagrave.com/wp-content/themes/foundagrave/images/missing.jpg)
Painter. Considered one of the most distinctive painters of his era. His work is noted for its simple, quiet subjects and subdued tones. During the late 20th century he was re-discovered internationally, and his paintings have obtained huge prices at auction houses in London and New York. In 2005 the British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) made an hour-long TV programme, “Michael Palin and the Mystery of Hammershøi”, in which Palin tried to get close to the artist and his works. (bio by: Erik Skytte)
