Jørgen Kofoed Rømer (9 May 1923 – 1 July 2007) was a Danish art historian, graphic artist and painter.
[1] Born in Sæby near Frederikshavn, Rømer studied the history of art at Copenhagen University from 1943 to 1952 but was self-taught as an artist.
Together with Richard Winther, from 1957 he created a series of graphic experiments at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, initially in connection with research into the technique adopted by the 17th-century Dutch artist Hercules Seghers.
Miniature organic motifs provide an interpretation of nature's smallest constituents in carefully detailed drawings, prints and watercolours.
[1] He was particularly interested in etching as a medium as it allowed him to work with contrast between black and white.
