Peder Mørk Mønsted (1859-1941) was a leading Danish landscape painter of his time, known for his photo-realist style, landscapes, portraits and genre scenes.
He began his artistic training in Aarhus before travelling to Copenhagen to study at the Academy of Copenhagen from 1875-1879.
He was much influenced by his teacher Andries Fritz, court painter to Prince Ferdinand of Aarhus, and he also studied figure painting under Julius Exner and Niels Simonsen.
