Peter Hansen is an Impressionism painter. 23 works are cataloged here, principally at Statens Museum for Kunst, most of them oil paintings.

Peter Hansen painted everyday life in Denmark around 1900, often using oil to catch light on roads and squares. His Boys Bathing shows sunlit children in the harbor, while A View of Faaborg. Winter freezes a quiet harbor town under snow.

In Postvognen. Assens Landevej he caught a horse-drawn wagon rolling through a frosty lane. His colors stay close to what he saw, from gray winter streets to the pink of children’s cheeks. Tap Playing Children, Enghave Square to see how he framed playtime with the same quiet attention.
