About the Item

Holger Peter Svane Lübbers (1850-1931) “Couple on the seashore” Oil on canvas, framed, signed and dated lower left “H. Lübbers 1908” Dimensions 45.5 x 68 cm The works of the Danish painter Holger Lübbers focused on the naturalistic depiction of Danish and southern Italian harbor and coastal scenes. His favorite motifs were the harbors of Copenhagen, Helsingør and the North Sea coast. Many of his works were reproduced as postcard motifs. He was a member of the November 18th Art Association and also exhibited at the Charlottenborg Annual Exhibition for many years. Life & education The son of a merchant and his wife, he was born in Copenhagen in 1850 and moved to Viborg at a young age to train as a painter. From 1876 to 1879, he studied art at Prince Ferdinand's Technical Drawing School and made his debut at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in 1878, one year before the end of his studies at the academy. From 1879 to 1882 he studied at the academy and at the same time trained as a marine painter. In 1881, his work “Various Ships in Calm Conditions” was awarded the Neuhausen Prize. From 1882, he focused exclusively on marine painting and took part in the Nordic Exhibition in Copenhagen in 1888. This was followed in 1920 by his participation in the exhibition of the Art Association of November 18, of which he was a member. He undertook many study trips through Denmark and visited the Italian coasts and harbors in particular, where he found new impressions for his works. Works & Artworks The majority of his creative phase consisted of naturalistic depictions of life in Copenhagen harbor or on the North Sea coast. In recurring periods, the motifs came from the west coast of Jutland. A small part of the production consisted of depictions from southern Italy. Lübber's works testify to a solid craftsmanship and were painted in the traditional academic landscape style. Some of his works were reproduced on postcards and were extremely popular in their choice of motifs. Museums & Awards Lübbers exhibited at the Charlottenburg Annual Exhibition throughout his life and was awarded the Neuhausen Prize in 1881 for a work he submitted. Many of his works are in international private collections.
