Imens i livet hos Nicolai Abildgaard
Hele livet1777–1794
His most productive years
Besides monumental works Abildgaard produced vignettes and illustrations, to Socrates and Ossian among others, designed Old Norse costumes, and did some sculpture, etching and writing.
c. 1780
The commission for the Knights’ Hall at Christiansborg
As royal history painter Abildgaard received a prestigious and lucrative commission for a monumental history of Denmark to fill the Knights’ Hall of Christiansborg Palace. The allegorical and mythological imagery glorified the government, while his teacher Mandelberg supplied the room’s decorations.
1781
Marries Nancy Oxholm; a son is born
Abildgaard married Anna Marie “Nancy” Christiane Oxholm, who that same year bore him a son, Marcus Aurelius. Later, on discovering her affair with the court chamberlain Reinhard von Eppingen, he forced the pair to flee in disgrace across the Sound to Helsingborg in Sweden, and divorced.
