Julius Exner
Kingdom of Denmark, 1825–1910
Julius Exner was a Kingdom of Denmark Realism painter. 13 works are cataloged here, principally at Statens Museum for Kunst, most of them oil paintings. Julius Exner was born in Copenhagen.
Johan Julius Exner, (30 November 1825 – 15 November 1910), Danish genre painter, was born in Copenhagen to Johann Gottlieb Exner, a Czech musician from Bohemia, who came to Denmark during the Napoleonic period, and his wife Karen Jørgensdatter. Exner originally intended on becoming a history painter, but quickly found his niche, however, in genre painting, the most popular and lucrative painting style of his era. His genre paintings figured prominently in Denmark's National Romantic period, an artistic period directly after the Golden Age of Danish Painting, when artistic focus was turned inwards to uniquely Danish themes.
