Tiểu sử:

Dan Sterup-Hansen was a Danish painter and illustrator. Born near Holbæk in northeastern Zealand, he was the son of the painter Adler Sterup Hansen. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Aksel Jørgensen and Georg Jacobsen. Although his early works have a strict linear style, they became increasingly more free in both line and composition. His notable works include the altarpiece in Vellinge Church (1971) and Befrielsesregeringen 1945 (Liberation Government 1945) in Christiansborg Palace (1985–91). In 1952, he was awarded the Eckersberg Medal and, in 1979, the Thorvaldsen Medal. He was decorated a Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog in 1967 and a Knight 1st Class in 1980.
