Paul Gustav Fischer (22 July 1860 in Copenhagen – 1 May 1934 in Gentofte) was a Danish painter. Paul Fischer belongs to the fourth generation of Fischers to live in Denmark. This Jewish family originally came from Poland. The family was upper middle class; Paul's father had started as a painter, but later succeeded in the business of manufacturing paints and lacquers.〔(Paul Gustav Fischer from AllPaintings.org. ) Retrieved 16 December 2008.〕 His formal art education lasted only a short time in his mid teens when he spent two years at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen. Fischer began to paint when he was still young, guided by his father. It was thanks to a painting he had published in ''Ude og Hjemme'' that his reputation began to evolve as he came in contact with young Danish naturalists. His earlier paintings depict city life. After a stay in Paris from 1891–1895, his colours became richer and lighter. It was not long before Fischer gained fame as a painter of cities, not just Copenhagen, but scenes from Scandinavia, Italy and Germany, reaching his zenith between 1890 and 1910.〔(Paul Fischer from Obro Gallery. ) Retrieved 16 December 2008.〕 He benefited from contemporaries in Norway and Sweden, especially Carl Larsson. Around this time, he also painted bright, sunny bathing scenes, some with nude women, and developed an interest in posters, inspired by Théophile Steinlen and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.〔(Paul Fischer from Kunstindeks Danmark (in Danish). ) Retrieved 16 December 2008.〕 During the period when he actively painted, Danish art was dominated by Laurits Tuxen. Despite Fischer's lack of critical recognition during his lifetime, his art sold well. One major event in which he succeeded over Tuxen was when Sweden transferred the sovereignty of Norway back to the Norwegians - Fischer rather than Tuxen got the commission from the King of Norway to paint the event.〔(Paul Gustav Fischer from Tigertail Virtual Museum. ) Retrieved 16 December 2008.〕 ==See also== * Art of Denmark 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Gustav Fischer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
