Ella Heide

November 1871 – 1956) was a Danish painter who from 1908 painted in Skagen in the far north of Jutland.

[1] Born in Flensburg in 1871, she married Rolf Wilhelm Heide who owned the Kragelund Teglværk brick factory near Aarhus (divorced in 1909).

In 1908, she arrived in Skagen where she painted many watercolours and oils of the traditional subjects and scenes.

As a key member of the local authority, in 1903 he built the White House (det Hvide Hus) which became a favourite gathering spot for members of the Skagen Painters including Holger Drachmann and P.S.

She therefore belonged to the younger generation of painters in Skagen which included Jørgen Aabye, Johannes Wilhjelm, Frederik Lange, and Tupsy and Gad Frederik Clement, none of whom achieved the same notability as the former group.
