#woman in red

Christian Bang (April 29, 1868 - 1950) was a Danish painter who vacillated between university studies and a career as an artist. He finally decided for the Academy in 1891 and studied there under Vermehren.

Bang loved spending time in Italy, and went there often for long stays. However, he was also employed by the Danish Royal House as a drawing teacher, and had several commissions to create altar pieces in Danish churches.
