Meanwhile, in the life of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg
The whole life23 May 1803
Arrives in Copenhagen and enters the Academy
Having saved some money and received help from local well-wishers, he arrives in Copenhagen on 23 May 1803; the same year he is admitted to the Academy free of charge, where he studies, among others, with Nikolaj Abraham Abildgaard.
1803–1809
Progress and friction with Abildgaard
He makes good progress painting historical pictures, portraits and landscapes, but friction with Abildgaard impedes his advancement; to earn a living he works as a hand labourer and makes drawings for copperplate etchings. A self-portrait from 1803 survives from these years.
15 September 1808
Son born: Erling Eckersberg
1809
Great Gold Medal of the Academy
Only after Abildgaard's death does he win the Academy's Great Gold Medal. A travel stipend is promised together with the medal, but the funds will not be made available until 1812.
