#herrnhut brethren

Jeppe Madsen Ohlsen (May 18, 1891 - 1948) was a largely autodidact Danish painter (he did study in Norway with Christian Krohg).

He painted strange scenes from his hometown Christiansfeld which had an unusual religious community of Moravian Brothers (Herrnhut Brethren) in a style that mixed Naivism, Symbolism and Magcal Realism.
