French connections and Nordic tones describe the two art historians Mette Harbo Lehmann and Dominique Lobstein Krøyer's artistic development from the golden age tradition of the academy to naturalism and the modern breakthrough. They show how the inspiration from France can be traced in his painting technique and in the plein-air paintings from Skagen and point to how French naturalism left its mark on Krøyer's particular style.
