Maleren C.W. Eckersberg
View through National Gallery of Denmark
In 1865 the sculptor Otto Evens created the sculpture of the academy professor. Even though the sculpture was made twelve years after Eckersberg’s death, it clearly reflects the fact that Evens, himself a student at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in the 1840s, had had the opportunity to closely observe Eckersberg during classes at the Model School. Evens’ portrait presents a vibrant character. Eckersberg looks ahead with eyes alert, as if carefully considering how to depict a scene. He is shownas an artist with absolutely extraordinary powers of observation and an exquisite feel for even the minutest of details. The sculpture was commissioned in 1863 by the Copenhagen Art Academy. The sculptures were initially placed in the gateway underneath the Domed Hall at Charlottenborg
