About the Item

Jans Adolf Jerichau worked in a painter's apprenticeship for one and a half year before travelling to Copenhagen where he was admitted to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (‘Det Kongelike Danske Kunstakademi’) in 1831. In 1833 he started taking courses in painting under Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783-1853) and in 1836 in sculpture under Hermann Ernst Freund (1786-1840). In 1837 he graduated from the Academy and went to Rome where he initially worked for nearly a year in the studio of Bertel Thorvaldsen’s (1817-1829), a renowned neoclassical sculptor. Back in Denmark, Jerichau took an important roll in the Danish school. He was commissioned with major works, such as the monument 'Oersted ' and 'Andersen’ in Copenhagen, 'Marriage of Alexander the Great and Roxane', the low-relief for the royal palace 'Christiansborg', the group ‘Hercules and Hebe ',' Penelope ',' The panther hunter', 'Creation of Eve’, ‘Adam and Eve after the fall’, ‘The resurrection of Christ’. Jerichau was a Classic sculptor in every sense of the word, but he evolved from a static Neoclassicism under the influence of Torvaldsen to a more dynamic, dramatic and realistic style. Proof of this style evolution are his masterpieces ‘Penelope' (1845-1846) and ‘The panther hunter' (1845-1846) (currently in the 'Statens Museum for Kunst - Danish National Gallery' in Copenhagen ), which brought him international fame. Calm, static Neoclassicism was replaced by a moment in time, a ‘frozen’ action and extrovert emotion. Jerichau became professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, where he was director from 1857 to 1863. He exhibited in London at the Royal Academy from 1858 to 1868 and he received a Gold Medal in Berlin in 1868. Some well-known works were damaged or destroyed by a big fire at the royal palace ‘Christiansborg ' in 1884. His wife, Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann, was a painter as well as his son Harald Adolf Nikolaj Jerichau (1851-1878). Signed and dated on the left side J. A.
