Martinus Rørbye (May 17, 1803 - 1848) was a Danish painter of the so-called Golden Age of Danish art. Rørbye was born in Drammen, Norway, but the family moved back to Denmark when Norway gained its independence - on this very day in 1814.

Rørbye started his studies at the Royal Danish Academy at age 16, and won the lesser Gold Medal a few years later. He traveled widely in the Mediterranean area, Italy, Greece, and even Turkey, where not many Danish artists had been. He also explored Skagen as one of the very first artists, capturing the special light up there.

In his final years, before succumbing to stomach cancer, aged 45, he painted numerous canvases with Italian scenes, such as this one:

Det indre af Capella Palatina i Palermo, 1842 - oil on canvas (SMK)
