Frants Henningsen
Kingdom of Denmark, 1850–1908
Frants Henningsen was a Kingdom of Denmark Post-Impressionism painter. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Statens Museum for Kunst, most of them oil paintings. Frants Henningsen was born in Copenhagen.
Frants Peter Diderik Henningsen (22 June 1850, Copenhagen – 20 March 1908, Copenhagen) was a Danish painter, illustrator and professor. His paintings depict unfortunate occurrences in the lives of middle-class people living in Copenhagen during difficult times. His connections with Denmark's more traditional, realist school encouraged criticism from many of his more reactionary contemporaries, especially Karl Madsen who objected to his appointment as a professor at the Academy in 1887. Erik Henningsen, also an artist, was his younger brother.
