About the Item

Eiler Rasmussen Eilersen (1 March 1827, Østerby, Faaborg-Midtfyn Municipality – 24 April 1912, Copenhagen), Herfølge Church under Walløe Ridge, oil on canvas, signed: E.R. Eilersen, original frame Eilersen was a Danish landscape painter. His father, Rasmus (1788-1869), was a farmer and the local Parish Constable. Like many future artists, he displayed an early affinity for drawing. Once he had decided on a career as an artist, he obtained the support of Preben Bille-Brahe, a local landowner and philanthropist who was later appointed a Royal Privy Councillor. Bille-Brahe's son, Christian (1819-1899), would become a major customer of Eilersen's. He took his first formal lessons in Faaborg then, in 1847, went to Copenhagen to pursue his plans for becoming a landscape painter. The outbreak of the First Schleswig War interrupted his plans, however, when he was drafted into the army.[1] He served for two years, then resumed his studies. He began exhibiting almost immediately, under the name "Rasmussen". He was married in 1856 to Eleanor Vinning, whom he had met in Faaborg. In 1858, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts awarded him a travel scholarship. This enabled him and his wife to visit Paris, the Pyrenees and Switzerland. In 1871, he became a member of the Academy. He participated in numerous exhibitions abroad, including the Exposition Universelle (1889).
