Hanne Hellesen

Johanne (Hanne) Hellesen (1801–1844) was a Danish painter who was trained privately under Johan Laurentz Jensen as women had not yet been admitted to the Royal Danish Academy. She is recognized as one of the most successful female flower painters of her times. Some of her works were purchased by the Danish Royal Collection of Paintings, two for Kronborg and two for Fredensborg Palace. Others are in the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst.
