Georg Emil Libert, (2 August 1820 – 19 May 1908) was a Danish landscape painter.

Biography

He was born in Copenhagen in 1820.[1] A graduate of the Royal Academy in Copenhagen, under J. L. Lund, he traveled Europe where he sought inspiration, especially from the Munich landscape scene.[2] He exhibited many works in Charlottenborg and in "Kunstforeningen" (The Art Association). He is best known for his paintings of the Baltic island of Bornholm; indeed one of the cliffs at Helligdomsklipperne, Libertsklippen (Libert's Rock), is named after him.[2] Many of his works today are in the Danish National Gallery and Thorvaldsens Museum, and are highly sought after by buyers; his painting Ansicht des Heidelberger Schlosses Zwischen der Molkenkur, der Stadt sold for $11,240 at Sotheby's in Munich in June 1994.[2]
