Gotfred Rode, Gotfred Andrew Anderson Rode (1862 - 1937)
He painted landscapes with animals like horses, cows or geese. His naturalistic paintings were very popular but his greatest success he experienced at the Royal porcelain factory (also known as Royal Copenhagen) which he joined in 1895. Gotfred Rode helped to create the special Danish underglaze painting and he was one of the most experienced in the underglaze painting technique.
Rode and William Th. Fischer cooperated and helped to create the success that underglaze painting experienced around 1920 ... perhaps more appreciated abroad than here in Denmark.
Gotfred Rode was associated with the art academy as a teacher in 1902, and for years to come.
Rode was highly respected for his thoroughness his cultured personality and his pedagogical insight.
Gotfred Rode has painted motifs to a string of beautiful old porcelain plates from Royal Copenhagen here are some examples.
