Carl Anton Saabye
Carl Anton Saabye (born August 26, 1807 in Copenhagen ; † April 25, 1878 there ) was a Danish landscape painter .
Life
Saabye was the son of the landowner Andreas Saabye and his wife Caroline Holm. Between 1822 and 1833 he studied painting at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen. There were Christian August Lorentzen and Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg his teachers. In contrast to Eckersberg's well-known other students, Saabye turned to role models outside Denmark, in particular the landscape painting that he got to know after 1841 during stays in Düsseldorf , Dresden and Munich . He was particularly inspired by the painting of Thomas Fearnley and that of Norwegian national romanticism , as developed in Düsseldorf by Hans Fredrik Gude . In the 1840s and until about 1851 he made several trips to Norway . He showed the landscapes he captured in exhibitions at Charlottenborg Palace . They were praised by Adolph Tidemand . In the mid-1840s Saabye lived in Christiania and frequented the city's art association. During this time Gustav Adolph Mordt was his pupil. Frederick VII of Denmark acquired several paintings by Saabye. Nonetheless, Saabye's work, which was essentially limited to mountain motifs and Norwegian landscapes, hardly achieved any greater popularity.
