Click Here for examples of Brandt's work

Johannes Hermann Brandt (1850-1926) a listed Danish artist educated at the Royal Academy of Arts and a pupil of C. C. Peters, Fr. Vermehren and Vilhelm Kyhn. He traveled to the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Tyrol and the Southern part of Germany to study and paint. His favorite motifs were from the coast on the Danish Baltic Sea island of Bornholm. The immensity of Bornholmian nature captivated Brandt better known as “Bølgebrandt”, who painted the cliff shores of Bornholm in the same national romantic style as George Emil Libert (1820-1908). Brandt traveled to the island every summer for more than fifty years to paint.

Brandt also worked in the Nederland’s and in Belgium from 1870 and took frequently travels to Germany and Italy from 1914 and again from 1919. Brandt works were especially in demand at various European Noble houses whose collections enlarged Brandt’s fame even more.

Brandt works have been exhibited at Schultes Kunstsalon in Berlin (1901), on Charlottenborg in Copenhagen from 1872-1927 and many other European and international exhibitions. In the United States Brandt exhibited his paintings at the Colombian World Exposition in Chicago in 1893, again at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1895.

A painting by Brandt was sold at auction in Warsaw on 23 March 1997 for $61,712.
