Biography
Nicolai Wilhelm Marstrand (24 December 1810 – 25 March 1873) was a Danish painter and illustrator. Marstrand is one of the most renowned artists belonging to the Golden Age of Danish Painting.
Nicolai Wilhelm Marstrand was born on 24 December 1810 in Copenhagen, Denmark to Nikolai Jacob Marstrand, an instrument maker and inventer, and Petra Othilia Smith.
Marstrand studied at Copenhagen's Metropolitan School (Metropolitanskolen), but had little interest in books, and left around 16 years of age. Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, painter and professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Art (Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi) in Copenhagen, was a close friend of Wilhelm's father, and it was to all appearance Eckersberg who recommended an artistic career for young Wilhelm. Wilhelm had already shown artistic talent, tackling difficult subjects such as group scenes with many figures and complicated composition.
Thus, at 16 years old, Marstrand began his studies at the Academy under Eckersberg, attending the school from 1826 to 1833.
