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. 1785
Death of his four-year-old son Marcus Aurelius
The painter’s son Marcus Aurelius, born in 1781, lived only to the age of four.
1789
Unanimously elected director of the Academy
After a failed attempt in 1787, Abildgaard was unanimously elected director of the Academy, serving in 1789–1791 (by other accounts until 1792). He had a reputation as a tyrant who took as many of the Academy’s monumental commissions as he could for himself.
1789–1790
Revolutionary ideals in the Knights’ Hall
Inspired by the French Revolution, Abildgaard tried to bring its ideals into the paintings of the Knights’ Hall at Christiansborg, but the King rejected his designs.
