Godtfred Rump

Christian Godtfred Rump (8 December 1816 – 25 May 1880) was one of the most productive Danish painters of his times.

[1][2] Born in Hillerød, Rump moved to Copenhagen when he was 16 and studied painting at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.

Lund's studio where many young painters gained experience in national romanticism.

After spending some time in Italy in (1857–58), he became more adept at depicting the effects of light shining through foliage or through the mist, gaining wide recognition for his paintings of forests.

[2] His work is now considered to have been overshadowed by Lundbye and Skovgaard at a time when together with Janus la Cour and Godfred Christensen, his traditional approach was increasingly threatened by modern French trends such as Impressionism.
