Biography
Giødesen developed a painting technique that displayed a gloss and brightness that some compared to glass painting.
Giødesen was born in the Danish port town of Korsør. He was the son of Navy Commander Peter Ferdinand Giødesen (1829-1905) and Laura Susanne Georgine Storch (1830-1922). He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi) in Copenhagen, where he was a student of Frederik Vermehren, Carl Heinrich Bloch, and Carl F. Andersen. He was employed as a Professor of Drawing at the Royal Danish Naval Academy (Søværnets Officersskole) from the spring of 1886 until 1907. Giødesen traveled throughout Europe, including Germany in 1884-86, 1888, 1890; Sweden several times from 1889, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy in 1890, Belgium, the Mediterranean, North Africa, Greece, Asia Minor, and the Black Sea in 1893. He exhibited widely, notably at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893 and at the official exhibition gallery of the Royal Danish Academy of Art and Charlottenborg Exhibition Hall (Kunsthal Charlottenborg).
