Note: Arvid Aae has been trained at G. Vermehrens Art School and afterwards at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen (which was the leading Art Academy in Scandinavia in the 19th C.). Many of his paintings - which he exhibited at Castle Charlottenborg - were Portraits or Genre, but in 1905 until 1906 he made a travel to Paris and Italy and came back with several landscapes. His total output was unfortunately limited due to his early death in 1913. He is represented in the Koldingshus Museum and several private collections. In general his fine paintings are comparable rare to find, especially the paintings he made during his travels in Italy and France. Photo Copyright is with the FineArtEmporium.
