Harald Pryn

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harald Julius Niels Pryn (born April 11, 1891 in Frederiksberg , † November 26, 1968 in Bagsværd) was a Danish landscape painter and graphic artist.

life and work

Pryn was the son of the gardener Viggo Petersen and his wife Laura Juliane (née Christensen). He was married to Ebba Madsen.

He left an extensive body of work. He was born in Frederiksberg, west of central Copenhagen. From 1930 he lived in Bagsværd, 12 km northwest of the capital, where he died in 1968.

Apparently self-taught as an artist, his choice of motifs and colors is close to the German-born landscape painter Olaf Viggo Peter Langer (1860–1842) who worked on Sjælland. He mainly devoted himself to landscape painting, in particular depicting snow-covered villages and hamlets. Some spring, summer and autumn landscapes by his hand are also known, as are interiors. Winter landscapes were also used in postcard and Christmas card series.

Few of his paintings are dated. Occasional place names such as Bøllemosen, Hareskoven, Herlufsholm, Hosterkøb, Klampenborg, Naestved, Ørholm or Søllerød indicate that he found his motifs almost exclusively in the vicinity of his home, Bagsvaerd. Characteristic is the often perspective structure of the picture, which leads the view through paths or streets, often reinforced by car tracks and rows of houses, into the depth of the picture.
