About Frants Henningsen

  • Frants Peter Diderik Henningsen (22 June 1850, Copenhagen – 20 March 1908, Copenhagen) was a Danish painter, illustrator and professor.
  • His paintings depict unfortunate occurrences in the lives of middle-class people living in Copenhagen during difficult times.
  • His connections with Denmark's more traditional, realist school encouraged criticism from many of his more reactionary contemporaries, especially Karl Madsen who objected to his appointment as a professor at the Academy in 1887.
  • Erik Henningsen, also an artist, was his younger brother.
