## About Johannes Larsen

Johannes Larsen (1867–1961) was a Danish artist described in the collected sources as a nature painter. Authority records consistently identify his lifespan, while museum and research profiles establish a stable public identity across major art databases. Secondary sources associate him with Naturalism and the Funen Painters, providing a useful context for the close attention to the natural world for which he is known. Collectors may encounter Larsen through paintings and through auction records attributed to his name. The available evidence supports the broad descriptions of Danish artist, painter, and nature painter, but the institutional excerpts in this source pack are brief. More specific claims about techniques, individual motifs, named works, series, exhibitions, or distinct career periods should therefore be checked against fuller museum, archival, or catalogue documentation before being treated as definitive.

## Common works and media

The collected sources most clearly document paintings concerned with nature. They do not provide enough detail to establish a reliable list of recurring motifs, techniques, supports, print editions, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or named series. Objects outside the broad category of nature-focused painting should therefore be researched individually rather than presented as typical Johannes Larsen works on the strength of this source pack.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's input associates Johannes Larsen with 170 auction records, although the collected source pack does not provide the underlying lot descriptions or results. For appraisal research, the most defensible starting points are confirmed artist identity, the documented work type of painting, and the nature-focused context identified by biographical sources. A useful comparison set should be narrowed to genuinely similar objects rather than treating every record under the artist's name as equivalent. The present evidence does not support a price forecast, market trend, scarcity claim, or medium-specific premium. Any value conclusion should be based on object-level examination and relevant public auction records with accessible sale context.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile distinguishes well-supported identity facts from market details that still require lot-level evidence.
