Art and life of Christoffer Eckersberg, Denmark

Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783 - 1853) was born in Denmark. He is considered to be a founder for the period that is known as the Golden Age of Danish Painting. He was a very determined man. When he was just 17, he had his sight set on being accepted at the Royal Danish Academy of Art, and he eventually got there without payment. He liked traveling, so he began his 6-year journey to Germany, France, and Italy just a few days after his wedding, leaving his newly wed wife at home. To be fair, Eckersberg married against his wishes. He did it in order to legitimize a son. He returned to Denmark only after his divorce was finalized. Six month later he married his second wife, Elizabeth Juel, daughter of a professor at the Academy. Soon he became a member of the Academy and eventually a professor. After his second wife died, he married her sister, Susanne Juel. #oilpainting #artgallery #christoffereckersberg #dutchartist #goldenage #classicalpainting
