Elegante damer med klokkehatte køber fisk by Paul Fischer (circa 1920)

Paul Gustav Fischer (1860 – 1934) was a Danish painter, born in Copenhagen, Denmark. His formal art education lasted only a short time in his mid teens when he spent two years at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen. Fischer began to paint when he was still young, guided by his father. He worked from 1878–88 at the father's factory and exhibited regularly at Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition 1884–1902.

It was thanks to a painting he had published in Ude og Hjemme that his reputation began to evolve as he came in contact with young Danish naturalists. His earlier paintings depict city life. For this reason, he has been called "Copenhagen's painter" (Københavns maler). After a stay in Paris from 1891–1895, his colours became richer and lighter. It was not long before Fischer gained fame as a painter of cities, not just Copenhagen, but scenes from Scandinavia, Italy and Germany, reaching his zenith between 1890 and 1910.
