Christian Frederik Sorensen
  • Biography

    Carl Frederik Sørensen was born in 1818 in Besser. Sorensen is one of Denmark's most popular marine painters. His naturalistic conception of light, air, water and clouds is entirely in the tradition of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, whose private student he was for a few months in 1845. Sørensen developed a romantically oriented marine painting, as atmosphere played an important role for him. He accompanied the Danish fleet on numerous journeys, including during the Three Years' War (1848-1851) he was on board a squadron that crossed the North Sea.
