Johannes Martin Fasting Wilhjelm (7 January 1868 – 22 December 1938) was a Danish painter. Strongly influenced by Kristian Zahrtmann, he painted bright, colourful landscapes while travelling in Italy. His works also include religious paintings and portraits. He frequently visited the artists' colony of Skagen in the north of Denmark where he painted scenes of the dunes and beaches. 1. Early life and education Born in Nakskov, Wilhjelm matriculated from high school in 1887. After studying at Harald Fosss technical school in Copenhagen, he entered the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1888. He then studied art under P.S. Kroyer at the Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler from 1892 to 1894. Later, in 1903, he also spent a year studying under Kristian Zahrtmann. 2. Career In 1893, Wilhjelm travelled to Italy with Kristian Zahrtmann, developing a close friendship with him which was strengthened by his brothers marriage to Zahrtmanns sister the same year. Zahrtmann strongly influenced his painting, especially when Wilhjelm attended his school in Copenhagen in 1903. In some of his earlier works, including Bon om Regn and Vinhost I Abruzzerne, Wilhjelm employs a frieze-like relief style which Zahrtmann strongly discouraged. By contrast, his bright, colourful works from Italy, above all those from Civita dAntino such as Motiv fra en Procession i Appenninerne reveal Zahrtmanns influence. Later he painted landscapes of Jutlands moors as can be seen in his Idyl paa Heden 1908. His later works also include religious figures and altarpieces including Daphnis og Chloe 1906 and a number of portraits. Wilhjelm joined the artists colony at Skagen in the north of Jutland where he painted from c. 1910. From 1916, he had a house in Skagen Osterby. His works include scenes of the dunes around the Sand-Covered Church or of the beach at Sonderstrand the south shore where some of his paintings include figures, often with one or more of his daughters as models. Several of his works can be seen in Skagens Museum including Malerinder på Skagen 1912 and a portrait of Michael Ancher in Brondums Hotel. He exhibited his work in Charlottenborg every year from 1893 to 1939 as well as at Den Frie Udstilling and at various exhibitions in Italy, France, Norway, Germany and Britain. From 1905 to 1914 he was a member of Charlottenborgs standing committee and from 1914 to 1922 he had a seat at the Academy.
