Axel Johansen (1872-1938) was one of the leading Danish painters of his time and exhibited regularly at the Danish equivalent of the Royal Academy.
He was born in Roskilde Denmark 23rd January 1872. He served his apprenticeship with the then well-known restoration painters: Mollmand & Co. in Copenhagen. It was here that he was recognized as being a very talented artist and craftsman and here he met Professor August Jerndorff one of Denmark's finest painters of the time.
Axel Johansen was asked by Professor Jerndorff to help him with the restoration of the main hall of Copenhagen University. This was to prove very valuable later on in his career.
He later studied at the Royal Art Academy in Copenhagen for four years and from that point never looked back. In 1905 he travelled to Italy, 1912 he was in Germany, and in 1921 he went to Italy again and France.
In 1909 Johansen experimented with coloured cement on "Sonnes Frieze" at Thorvaldsens Museum, Copenhagen. He developed a technique which was to be the foundation for the complete restoration of the Frieze which he was commissioned to do in 1936. Before he died in 1938 he completed the first floor. (VaedderkØrselsfrise and the two palms).
His paintings cover a whole range of subjects, especially reflecting his love of the sea and ships. The majority of his works are of Copenhagen scenes, in particular of the harbour and the sea. He was also a very fine portrait painter.
In 1929 he became the equivalent to the British RA. (UC).
The Danish Royal family has a large collection of his works.
