Janus la Cour (1837-1909) was a Danish landscape painter, educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and inspired by P.C. Skovgaard. He is particularly well known for his meticulously performed landscape paintings with motifs from the coastlines and forests of the Århus region and from Italy. La Cour continued the classic Danish landscape tradition with great precision and a sense of nature's details. He settled south of Aarhus in 1884 and is considered an important representative of the East Jutland landscape painting. Less cracklings.
