Bio:
Johannes Resen Steenstrup (1868–1921) was a Danish painter particularly known for realistic animal subjects and depictions of rural life. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen from 1887 to 1889, received instruction from Frans Schwartz, and continued his training around 1894 at Kunstnernes Studieskole under P.S. Krøyer and Laurits Tuxen. Steenstrup placed particular emphasis on portraying domestic animals in atmospheric, narrative settings and found many of his subjects in Danish agricultural life. He exhibited at Charlottenborg and participated in the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö in 1914. His known works include Mare with Her Foal and The Cows Being Driven Out, Summer Morning. He also worked as an illustrator and produced decorative works for Bing & Grøndahl.
