Laurits Andersen Ring 1854-1933
For a while, he lived at Baldersbrønde near Hedehusene in the old school building, which was later to be the home of another painter, Ludvig Find. Ring produced several paintings from these towns. By 1913, Ring was a notable member of Denmark's artistic community and a censor at the Charlottenborg exhibitions. He had a house built at Sankt Jørgensbjerg in Roskilde, overlooking the fjord - here he spent the last decade of his life, before his death in 1933.
The year after Ring's death, the author Peter Hertz published a biography in which he summarized Ring's life and work:
"His oeuvre remains as his life and essence: The still water of profound depth".
Today there are examples of his work at practically every Danish art museum including the Hirschsprung Collection in Copenhagen.
