Biography
In 1861 he went to Copenhagen to hone his painting skills. He lived there for several years and was associated with the local artistic bohemia. In 1876 he organized an exhibition of his paintings in Munich, where he moved permanently with his wife. Every year he exhibited his paintings in Munich and Copenhagen. He participated in many group exhibitions. He traveled mainly to Denmark and Italy. In 1883 he became a member of the Academy in Copenhagen. He later became a professor at the Munich academy. He painted mainly atmospheric winter and summer landscapes, often submerged in afternoon and evening sunlight. His painting focused on mood, and his way of painting became increasingly impressionistic over time. A separate strand of his painting is marine paintings, depicting ships on rough seas. His paintings can be found in many museums including the Royal Gallery of Copenhagen, the Trieste Museum, the Neue Pinakotek Munich and in significant private collections.
