Knud Sinding was educated at the Royal art academy in 1902 and was a pupil of the master painter Zahrtmann at the Art School of Zahrtmann from 1895-97. Sinding is known for his great impressive colours and is known for his Sunlit landscapes from Italy and the powerful open landscapes from Jutland, Denmark.
