**Poul Peter Knud Augustinus Alsing Nielsen** (21 May 1907 – 11 April 1985) was a Danish painter. Born in [Frederikssund](/source/Frederikssund), he studied painting and graphic art at the [Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts](/source/Royal_Danish_Academy_of_Fine_Arts) from 1930.[1]

Initially interested in landscape painting, he depicted scenes around [Kalvehave](/source/Kalvehave) in the south of [Zealand](/source/Zealand) where he grew up. After moving to Copenhagen, he was attracted by subjects in the harbour area including tin shacks, piles of scrap metal or industrial buildings. As a result, he was nicknamed *Bølgebliksmaleren* (the corrugated iron painter). His works in subdued colour are painted with simple yet precise lines, in a somewhat [abstract style](/source/Abstract_art). In 1971, Alsing Nielsen was awarded the [Thorvaldsen Medal](/source/Thorvaldsen_Medal).[1][2]
