Golden Age of Danish Painting
The Golden Age of Danish Painting is the term commonly used to describe the period of creative production between 1800 - 1850. It encompasses the work of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersbergand his students including Wilhelm Bendz, Christen Kobke, Martinus Rorbye, Constantin Hansen Christen Kobke and Wilhelm Marstrand as well the sculpture of Bertel Thorvaldsen.
In the 1820s there was a great flurry of activity in the Denmark art scene. Painter slowly abandoned timeless, idealized art and turned their attention to their own times and the reality in which they lived. One of the first steps was taken by C.W. Eckersberg, who during visits to Rome began to paint on the basis of meticulous studies of nature. It was a principle for Eckersberg and the entire generation he came to influence in his capacity of professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts that ” everything wanting in perfection should be left out of consideration ”. The aim was a character close to reality, but without the love of detail developing into realism.
