Janus Andreas Bartholin la Cour (5 September 1837 – 13 October 1909) was a Danish painter who is remembered for his landscapes painted in the classical style of the Eckersberg school.[1]
During several trips to Italy, he painted landscapes of Lake Nemi and Tivoli. In Denmark, he painted scenes from eastern Jutland, especially the area around Aarhus and Silkeborg, often in rainy or stormy weather.[2] From 1884, he lived in Mariendal near Beder south of Aarhus and in 1888 settled for the rest of his life in Langballegård near Mårslet. He purposely distanced himself from the Copenhagen-scene where more modern trends in painting en plein air were breaking the Academic traditions of the Eckersberg school.[1]
