Marie Krøyer, Danish Painter in Skagen

                                            

Marie  Krøyer, née Triepcke 

(1867-1940)

Another famous woman in Skagen

Born in Denmark, daughter of Wilhelm August E.M. Triepcke (1834-91) engineer, director, and Minna Augusta Kindler (1840-1909).
The Family originated from Germany. Marie was a beauty with a lot of friends, painters and writers and she was educated as a painter in Copenhagen. She wanted to start a scool of painting, but went to Paris in 1888 with Anna Ancher for further education. During her visit to Paris she met P.S. Krøyer, famous painter,  and they got married in 1889.

Marie Triepcke had her first exhibition on Charlottenborg, Copenhagen in 1888.
She was a skilled painter and knew af lot of welknown painters.

Marie and her husband P.S. Krøyer travelled a lot in Germany, Italy and France before the settled down in Skagen. Her husband had some problems with his health and Marie almost stopped her own painting. 1895 she gave birth to a daughter, Vibeke.
Unfortunately, her husband became serious ill and he was frequenty hospitalized.

Works by Marie Krøyer:

                                

Hugo Alfvén
Swedish Composer

In 1902 Marie met the Swedish composer Hugo Alfvén, a very charming person, and she left her husband, but P.S. Krøyer did not agree to a divorce until 1905, when Marie was pregnant with her second daughter, Margita. There was a scandal and Marie did not marry Alfvén before 1912 after the death of P.S. Krøyer.

The Alfvén family lived in Sweden and Marie designed the furniture and the interior decorations with a great succes. At this period she painted some oils and pastels, but few are left for us to see to day.

Her second marriage was not happy and Alfvén wanted a divorce, but Marie did not agree and the divorce was not until 1936.

Her career as a painter was not as great as deserved. P.S. Krøyer and Hugo Alvén were both famous and masterful. To day only a few of her works are left for us to see. 

Marie lived a lonely life in Stockholm, capital of Sweden, until her death in 1940.

In 2012 Bille August made the famous film about the life of Marie Krøyer and the other artists living in Skagen during the golden summerdays. The film is an absolutely MUST if you love the wonderful paintings from Skagen.

I hope you enjoyed the story about this beautyful and talented woman, who lived a life full of love and unhappiness.
