Paul Gustav Fischer (22 July, 1860 in Copenhagen - 1 May, 1934 in Gentofte) was a Danish painter. Paul Fischer belongs to thefourth generation of Fischers to live in Denmark. This Jewish family originallycame from Poland. The family was upper middle class; Paul's father had startedas a painter, but later succeeded in the business of manufacturing paints andlacquers. His formal art education lasted only a short time in his mid-teens when he spent two years at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen. Fischer began to paint whenhe was still young, guided by his father. It was thanks to a painting he hadpublished in Ude og Hjemme that his reputation began to evolve as he came incontact with young Danish naturalists. His earlier paintings depict city life.For this reason, he has been called "Copenhagen's painter" or "Københavns maler". After a stay in Paris from 1891 - 1895, his coloursbecame richer and lighter. It was not long before Fischer gained fame as apainter of cities, not just Copenhagen, but scenes from Scandinavia, Italy and Germany, reaching his zenith between 1890 and 1910. He benefited fromcontemporaries in Norway and Sweden, especially Carl Larsson. Around this time,he also painted bright, sunny bathing scenes, some with nude women, anddeveloped an interest in posters, inspired by Théophile Steinlen and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. During the period when heactively painted, Danish art was dominated by Laurits Tuxen. Despite Fischer'slack of critical recognition during his lifetime, his art sold well. One majorevent in which he succeeded over Tuxen was when Sweden transferred thesovereignty of Norway back to the Norwegians - Fischer rather than Tuxen gotthe commission from the King of Norway to paint the event.
