The father, Carl Jacobsen (1842-1914), inherited a love of statuary, which is why the gallery he built alongside the enchanting Tivoli Pleasure Gardens is called the Glyptotek, or Museum of Sculpture.
Both Carl Jacobsen and his son Helge (1882-1946) ignored their prodigiously imaginative Swedish contemporary Carl Milles, little known outside Scandinavia but quite likely to be regarded, in times to come, as the most brilliant sculptor of the twentieth century.
Millet's Death and the Miller (the first painting Carl Jacobsen bought) is an honest and sympathetic rendering of the rustic's dismay, as wearied out and crooked from his labours, he perceives the alternative of Death, a skeleton skilfully delineated by the adhesion of a thin shroud to its bones.

Jacobsen said in addition to his family encouraging him to quit, the pickup was an extra incentive to not smoke.

After his death, Carl Jacobsen's initiative was fortunately continued by one of his sons, Helge, who considerably enlarged the paintings collection.
The exhibition, together with Jacobsen's letters (written in French) kept in the Glyptotek, helped promote a wider knowledge of this collection and, as a result, made it possible to study one case of the direct influence patronage can exercise on art.
