Brøndums Hotel is a historic inn in the port city of Skagen in northern Denmark . It gained fame through its close association with the Skagen-Maler artists' colony in the late 19th century . It is still operated as a hotel today.
history
In the 1870s Brøndums Hotel (with a small shop and bar) was a meeting place for fishermen. During the summer months, the inn became the center of a Scandinavian artists' colony , the Skagen painters. Painters , musicians , writers and art critics stayed with the married couple Erik and Anna Hedvig Brøndum and their children. Later, with Degn Brøndum as sponsor and the painter Anna Ancher , the hotelier family became part of the scene. The painters often paid with pictures, so that an art collection grew in the inn. The dining room, whose dark wall paneling is adorned with a frieze of paintings and portraits of the artists, was integrated into the Skagens Museum in 1946.
Works by the artists in the hotel
The painter Michael Ancher , who arrived in Skagen in 1874, began a close friendship with the Brøndoms and married their daughter Anna in 1880. The group of Skagen painters was founded through Ancher's encouragement. They stayed in the farm's guest houses and paid for them mainly by donating their works of art.
