Díðrikur á Skarvanesi

Díðrikur á Skarvanesi also called Díðrikur í Kárastovu (25 July 1802 – 8 October 1865), was born in Dímun and died in Skarvanes.

He was self-taught, the only kind of art education he had was when he went on a study tour to Copenhagen in 1828.

His work is on permanent exhibition at the Listasavn Føroya (Faroe Islands Art Museum).

[4] In 2020 one of his images of fanciful "Moon Pigeons" was used on a 20KR Faroe Islands stamp.
