Viggo Pedersen, Lounge Interior With Red Armchair
A sublime early 20th-century depiction of a lounge interior by important Danish painter, Viggo Pedersen (1854-1926). It was painted towards the end of his life when he was a master of impressionistic brushwork.
In the lower part of the composition, a comfortable red armchair is gently lit by the afternoon sun. Light cascades through a leaded window and a church spire can be seen in the distance.
Pedersen was a fascinating artist that developed a love for impressionism following study trips to Paris in the 1880s. He began his career as a classical painter and trained at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen. But gradually over a ten year period, his works became looser and often flooded with light.
He’s predominantly known for his landscapes, which depict luscious green views and coastal scenery. But he also painted genre scenes and occasionally interior scenes such as this. It’s interesting to consider what this room meant to Pedersen and how he came to paint it. The worn armchair feels familiar like an old friend so perhaps he often sat there and read by the window.
Pedersen’s work can be found in several public collections including at the Danish National Gallery.
The painting is signed in the lower right and housed with a period frame that could be its original.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
