The Danish artist Max Nathan painted colourful, naturalistic genre scenes and landscapes, bathed in a bright light. After the Royal Academy in Copenhagen, he attended the Kristian Zahrtmann School (1907-1908), where he was taught by Johan Rohde. There he got to know the work and ideas of the French modernist painters. In 1910 Nathan went to Paris for a year to take lessons with Maurice Denis and Édouard Vuillard. The artist's oeuvre also includes interiors and still lifes. In addition to being a painter, Nathan also made a name for himself with particularly refined woodcuts.
