In the life of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg
The whole life1810–1813 · Workplace
Paris
1811–1812
Studies under Jacques-Louis David in Paris
He improves his skill in painting the human form and follows his teacher's admonition to paint after Nature and the Antique in order to find Truth.
1811–1812
Lifelong friends: Møller and Clemens
In Paris he forms a lifelong friendship with his roommate, the fellow artist Jens Peter Møller, and with the engraver Johan Frederik Clemens, a collaborator of Jens Juel.
1813
Travels to Rome via Florence
After two years in Paris he travels on via Florence to Rome to continue his studies.
1813–1816
Three years in Rome among artists
He works on his skills as a history painter and enjoys painting small studies of local life and the surroundings; he lives among a large group of artists whose cultural head is Bertel Thorvaldsen. The bright southern light affects him deeply, and in these years he produces a large body of work, including a number of exceptional landscape studies.
1813–1816
Friendship with Bertel Thorvaldsen
Eckersberg and Thorvaldsen develop a close, lasting relationship: the master serves the younger man as both a loyal friend and an adviser. In 1816 Thorvaldsen models a bust of Eckersberg.
