P.S. Kroyer (1851-1909)
Skagen Artist Colony
Kroyer first arrived in Skagen in 1882, and returned most years thereafter. After his marriage to the artist (and interior designer) Marie Triepcke in 1889, the couple made plans to move to the village full time.
In 1888 Kroyer produced his first important oil painting Hip Hip Hurrah! Artists Party at Skagen (1888). The picture was inspired by a gathering at the Danish painter Michael Ancher's house (1849-1927). It depicts a happy group of men and women, drinking champagne and making a toast.
The scene is framed by lush green trees, and the gentle sunlight bathes the viewers, bottles and glasses on the table.

Perhaps Kroyer modelled it on Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party (1881, Phillips Collection, Washington DC), which depicts Renoir's own friends, relaxing at an outdoor luncheon.
