Erik Raadal
Erik Kristoffer Raadal (18 June 1905 – 13 January 1941) was a Danish painter. During his short life, Raadal became one of Denmark's most important landscape painters of the 1930s, often painting scenes around Gjern, his home town in central Jutland.

They often include figures, usually seen from behind, emphasizing the depths of the scene beyond.

His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics. Raadal exhibited in Charlottenborg from 1929 as well as at Kunstnernes Efter ...
