Picture of the day

Holger Drachmann (1846–1908) was a Danish poet, dramatist and painter. He was a member of the Skagen artistic colony and became a figure of the Scandinavian Modern Breakthrough Movement. Born in Copenhagen, he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, going on to achieve fame for his painting of seascapes and ships in storms. He began writing poetry in 1872; his most famous work is the 1877 collection of poems Sange ved Havet (Songs of the Sea).Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Adam Cuerden
