The main feature of the permanent collection is the work of the members of the Skovgaard family. Peter Christian Skovgaard (1817–1875) was the principal representative of national romantic landscapes of the Golden Age of Danish painting.[1]
P. C. Skovgaard married Georgia Skovgaard (1828-1868). Their sons, Joakim Skovgaard (1856–1933) created the mural decorations in Viborg Cathedral and Niels Skovgaard (1858–1938) also worked with landscape painting. However, their work is characterized rather by Symbolism and burgeoning Modernism. The collection holds exquisite examples of landscape painting as well as religious and mythological subjects.[2]
The circle of artists surrounding the Skovgaard family is also represented in the museum's collections, with works by, among others, renowned Danish artists Niels Larsen Stevns, Viggo Petersen and Thorvald Bindesbøll.
