Collection: Emil Carlsen

Emil Carlsen (1848-1932) was a Danish-American painter associated with the American Impressionist and Tonalist movements. Carlsen's works were characterized by their use of light and shadow to create a sense of atmosphere and mood. He was particularly interested in still life and landscape painting, often using muted colors and a restrained palette to convey a sense of serenity and introspection in his works. Carlsen was a prominent figure in the American art scene during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his works were highly regarded for their technical mastery and innovative style. Today, Carlsen's works are celebrated for their beauty and their contribution to the development of American Impressionist and Tonalist art. Some of his most famous works include "The Open Drawer" and "Moonrise."
