Martin Nyrop
Martin Nyrop (11 November 1849 18 May 1921) was a Danish architect. Early life and education Nyrop was born on 11 November 1849 at Holmsland, Ringkøbing, the son of parish priest Christopher Nyrop (1805–1879) and Helene Ahlmann (1807–1874). He attended Sorø Academy and matriculated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1876. From 1881 to 1883, he studied abroad on a scholarship from the academy. Career From 1883 to 1893, Nyrop worked as an assistant for professor Hans Jørgen Holm but was at the same time able to work on his personal commissions. Most of his early independent works were single-family detached homes. He experienced a breakthrough when he won the competition for the design of the buildings at the Nordic Exhibition of 1888.

He justified the decision by claiming the result would be prettier for the same cost. His background as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rytterhuset
Rytterhuset ( lit. "The Rider's House"), located at Nordre Strandvej 230, Ålsgårde, Helsingør Municipality, Denmarkm was built in 1889 to a national romantic design by Martin Nyrop as summer residence for the painter Frants Henningsen. The property, including a detached atelier, a jetty with a bathhouse and a number of other outbuildings, were listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1993.

Barbicaia at Nordre Strandvej 232 dates from the same year and was also designed by Nyrop but has undergone considerable alterations and is therefore not listed. History Frants Henningsen and his friends P. S: Krøyer, Viggo Johansen and Kristian Zahrtmann visited Hornbæk in 1873. They were later coined by other artists, including Holger Dra ...
