Hip, Hip, Hurrah! is an oil-on-canvas painting from 1888 by the Danish painter
Peder Severin Krøyer. The work shows various members of the
Skagen Painters, a group of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish artists who formed a loose community in Skagen, at the northern tip of
Jutland, in the 1880s and early 1890s. Krøyer began the painting in 1884 after a party at
Michael Ancher's house, with the composition inspired by photographs taken at the celebration by the German artist
Fritz Stoltenberg, although the individuals featured are not all the same. A dispute arose between Krøyer and Ancher the following day when the former returned uninvited to continue work on the piece, and although they reconciled Krøyer was not permitted to use Ancher's garden as the setting. The Swedish art collector
Pontus Fürstenberg bought the painting before it was completed, and it was displayed at
Charlottenborg in 1888. He later donated the work to the
Gothenburg Museum of Art, where it has hung since.
