Hans Andersen Brendekilde (Funen, 1857 — Jyllinge, 1942) was a Danish painter. Brendekilde initially worked in a social realist style describing the plight of the rural proletariat in paintings such as his famous Worn Out depicting an elderly farmworker lying fallen on his back in the furrowed field. Later his style became more religious, and eventually he mostly portrayed idyllic village life.
