Paul Gustav Fischer

Paul Gustav Fischer (22 July 1860, Copenhagen – 1 May 1934 Gentofte) was a Danish painter.








 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 when he was still young, guided by his father. His earlier paintings depict city life. After a stay in Paris from 1891–1895, his colours became richer and lighter. It was not long before Fischer gained fame as a painter of cities, not just Copenhagen, but scenes from Scandinavia, Italy and Germany, reaching his zenith between 1890 and 1910.
