Andreas Peter Madsen (1822-1911) was a Danish artist who studied at the Copenhagen Academy in 1835 under Eckersberg. He was known for his simple and unsentimental depictions of nature and animals, which earned him high esteem from his contemporaries, including the art critic Høyen. He flourished in the 19th century.
