Picture of the day

Lars Kruse (1828–1894) was a fisherman from Skagen in the far north of Jutland, Denmark, who was credited with saving over 200 lives. In one case, on 27 December 1862, he rescued much of the crew of the Swedish brig Daphne when it was stranded during a storm. Kruse also gained fame through his portraits, painted by Michael Ancher, and an account of his mistreatment written by Holger Drachmann in a mixture of poems and prose.Painting: Michael Ancher

Early life?[edit]

Although this article purports to be a biography, the first dated event in the life of its subject occurred when he was in his thirties. What about his birthplace, parents, siblings, and education? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 02:49, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
