Peder Severin Krøyer was born on July 23, 1851 in Stavanger, Norway. He was raised by his aunt and uncle, as his mother had been found incapable of caring for him.
He began his art education at the age of nine and was enrolled at the Copenhagen Institute of Technology. At the age of 19, Krøyer graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Art. In 1873, he was awarded the gold medal as well as a scholarship.
Between 1877 and 1881, he traveled Europe, meeting artists, studying art, and developing his skills and perspectives. In the summer of 1882, Krøyer came to Skagen for the first time. From then on he came there every summer. He was especially excited by nature and the company of other artists. He connected with the Skagen community there.
On July 23, 1889, he married Marie Krøyer, who was also a painter. The couple had a daughter named Vibeke in January 1895. They divorced in 1905 after a long separation.
Krøyer's eyesight left him in the last years of his life, until he was completely blind. He was nevertheless always optimistic, and despite health obstacles, he painted almost to the end of his life. In 1900 Krøyer became mentally ill and had to be treated several times in a mental hospital. He probably suffered from a manic-depressive psychosis. Krøyer died in Skagen in 1909 at the age of 58. His grave is in the Skagen cemetery.
