	Wilhelm Marstrand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His father, Nicolai, knew Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, painter and professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Art (Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi) in Copenhagen, and according to story Eckersberg recommended that Wilhelm attend the Academy.
		At 16 years of age he began hia studies at the Academy under Eckersberg, attending the school from 1826 to 1833.
		Although Marstrand's interests had a firm hold in genre themes-- depiction of the daily life he observed around him in Copenhagen's streets, especially middle class society-- he reached for the pinnacle of Academic acceptability: the history painting.

	Eckersberg's light touch - The Washington Times: Arts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Eckersberg's "Alexander the Great on his Sickbed" (1806), an early history scene painted in David's studio, is clearly a student effort but already shows the Dane's liking for serene, balanced compositural-like structuring, whether with figures or enclosures.
		Eckersberg's portraits in the second gallery, painted after he returned to Denmark in 1816, are pleasant and frank but not outstanding.
		Eckersberg did what few artists accomplished: He combined the cool formality of academic traditionalism with forward-looking impressionistic effects that erupted with Monet and Renoir later in the century.

	washingtonpost.com: Eckersberg: A Great Dane or Just Well Trained?
		To mark the 150th anniversary of the death of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, "Father of Danish Painting," the National Gallery of Art recently launched a rare survey of 51 of his signature works.
		Papa Eckersberg may not exactly be a household name in the United States, but that only means that there's that much more for all of us to learn about him.
		Eckersberg acts as though he's simply out to record the world just as he sees it, breasts and all.

	Eckersberg
		ECKERSBERG was the most influential Danish artist of the Biedermeicr period.
		Eckersberg had a particular mastery of this pearly northern light and the way in which its dispersion in the damp atmosphere gives a hazy imprecision to sharp edges.
		Mendel Levin Nathanson was a wealthy merchant who had commissioned history paintings from Eckersberg before he left for Paris and Rome and who commissioned two major portraits from him on his return: a family group and this portrait of his daughters.

		Eckersberg learned the rudiments of painting as a child from his father, a carpenter and house painter.
		When Eckersberg returned to Copenhagen in 1816, Denmark was devastated by defeat in the Napoleonic Wars yet experienced a time of national cultural revival, now considered the beginning of the Golden Age of Danish art.
		As with many other artists and poets of his time, Eckersberg was fascinated by the discoveries of science, evident in his 1833 Theory of Perspective for Young Painters, where he applied the laws of geometry to the depiction of the natural world.

		"Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, 1783-1853," Nov. 23, 2003-Feb. 29, 2004, at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. The four fathers of the Golden Age of Denmark -- Soren Kierkegaard, Hans Christian Andersen, August Bournonville and Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg -- are regarded variously today.
		Eckersberg spent three years in Paris, where he was a pupil of Jacques-Louis David; and then he went to Rome on a travel grant that came with the gold medal he'd won.
		When Eckersberg returned home, he painted what he found in the harbor of Copenhagen with the same appreciation for light and color that he brought to bear on his views of Rome.

		Philip Conisbee, the gallery's senior curator of European art, calls Eckersberg "one of the most original painters of the early 19th century." He said Eckersberg, almost unknown outside Denmark, will have a more important place when the history of European art is rewritten.

	The Golden Age of Danish Painting, 1790-1850
		Artists all over Europe were executing this kind of plein-air sketch (this one happens to have been finished in the studio), beginning with the Frenchman Pierre-Henri Valenciennes and the little known Englishman Thomas Jones in the 1780s, and continuing in the early nineteenth century with the German Carl Blechem and the Swiss Barthélemy Menn.
		Eckersberg's marines, with their exquisitely pristine light, accurate naval architecture, and impeccably balanced compositions, call to mind luminist paintings by English and American contemporaries such as Salmon, Bradford, and Lane, as well as by their great seventeenth-century Dutch antecedent, Willem van de Velde.
		Eckersberg deftly conveys the textures of satin, upholstery, and polished wood, but at times his drawing and rigorously contrived compositions undermine the intended illusionism.

	Welcome Guests from Denmark
		Unlike students at all the other art academies in Europe, young painters in Copenhagen were taught by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783–1853) to study the landscape in natural light.
		Eckersberg had become familiar with plein-air painting in Rome in the period between 1813 and 1816, as demonstrated by his views of the city that are also included in this exhibition; according to Eckersberg, these works ”were all painted on the spot, directly from nature”.
		With his sober attitude and specific focus on visible reality, Eckersberg, who held the post of Professor of history painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen from 1818 onwards, had a formative influence on the Academy until the mid-19th century and is still referred to as the ”father of Danish painting”.

	Guide to the danish golden age - Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Eckersberg has been called “the father of Danish painting” because his qualities as a painter and teacher had such impact for the entire generation of Golden Age painters.
		To Eckersberg, the detailed realism of his studies of nature was the ideal and truth of art.
		This allowed him to remove less beautiful features so that the motifs emerge refined and idealised, but in such a way that the natural appearance of the presentation convinced the viewer that it was directly experienced by the painter.

		The father figure for the appropriately named Golden Age of Denmark is Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg.

	washingtonpost.com: At the National Gallery, An Array of Smart Art
		As Picasso's reductive skills as an artist boiled down his lover's face and body into sculptural planes, even to the point where she looks like some sort of sci-fi insect-woman, Fernande the woman paradoxically disappears the more we -- and Picasso -- look at her.
		Upstairs, "Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, 1783-1853" is the first monographic show in this country dedicated to the man known as the father of Danish painting in his homeland (where he is as famous as philosopher Soren Kierkegaard), but little known stateside.
		Far from a blockbuster, it's still the sort of sterling exhibition that the National Gallery is known for -- thorough and thoroughly unexpected.

		Eckersberg studied with David but didn't have the temperament for history painting himself.
		But it is the ability of more circumscribed artists like Eckersberg to slow our systems and to show us reality as we may not have paused to consider it before," writes Michael Kimmelman in a helpful piece for the NYTimes (here).

		Several decades later, Copenhagen had turned its attention away from the atrocities of war and was concentrating on the cultural revolution that was daubing, scribbling and philosophising its way across the country.
		The philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, the writer Hans Christian Andersen, the verbose theologian Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig, and Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, founder of the Danish School of Art, all contributed to this artistic 'Golden Age'.
		Copenhagen benefited physically from the revolution through the grand neoclassical statues bestowed on it by sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen.
