J.A. Jerichau (Dec. 12, 1890 - 1916) was a young Danish genius of a painter, trained at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen, after which he departed for Paris where he was meeting and learning from all the great contemporary Modernists, including Matisse and Picasso who invited him on a trip to Brittany where they would have collaborated. Alas, this never happened, because in 1916 Jerichau shot himself, cutting off a very promising career as a visionary artist.Above: Susannah in Her Bath, 1916 - oil on canvas (Randers Kunstmuseum) -- source link
