Viggo Christian Frederik Vilhelm Pedersen (March 11, 1854 – April 19, 1926) was a Danish landscape painter who also explored religious, portrait, and domestic art.
Known for his vibrant style and rich color palette, Pedersen's works reflect a profound connection to nature and tradition, while embracing modern techniques.
Works like A Rutted Path under Old Trees (1882), acquired by the Statens Museum for Kunst, and Sunshine in the Living Room (1888) demonstrate the impact of these experiences.
He painted rural scenes, domestic interiors, and biblical compositions, including The Annunciation and Isaac Sees Rebecca Approaching, the latter noted for its grandeur and originality.
In his later years, Pedersen produced numerous works inspired by the landscapes of Zealand and Italy, such as The Angel and the Women at the Tomb of Christ.
