Catalogue Note
Jens Peter Møller began his career at the Danish Royal Academy of Art under the tutelage of Nikolaj-Abraham Abilgaard. He is in Paris by 1810 with his friend and fellow student Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, one of the fathers of Danish Golden Age painting. Enamored of the art of landscape, he sought inspiration in Switzerland in 1813 after Eckersberg departed for Rome. Returning to Copenhagen in 1815, he had a successful career receiving royal patronage and serving both as a professor at the Royal Academy and a curator at the Royal Gallery.
