Just Mathias Thiele (born December 13, 1795 in Copenhagen ; † November 9, 1874 there ) was a Danish writer and art historian .

During the Golden Age in the first half of the 19th century, he enriched Danish cultural life in many ways. He collected and published Danish folk tales and founded the Royal Collection of Prints, now part of the Danish National Gallery . After the death of his friend Bertel Thorvaldsen , he kept his archives and posthumous writings and wrote his first biography.

His son Thorvald Nicolai Thiele was an important mathematician.

Life

Just Mathias Thiele graduated from the traditional metropolitan cities , as did Andreas Gottlob Rudelbach . Thiele had his first publication in 1816 in the magazine Danfana ; the following year his first book, the novel Bjergmandsdalen, was published .

As a student he was part of the circle of artists and intellectuals around Knud Lyne and Kamma Rahbek in the Bakkehuset ; The memory of this time ( Erindringer fra Bakkehuset ) he published in 1869. Thiele also visited the salons of Friederike Brun .

From 1817 to 1835 he worked for the Danish Royal Library . Following the example of the Brothers Grimm , Thiele collected Danish folk tales on his travels through the country. He published it in four volumes as Danske Folkesagn I – IV between 1818 and 1823. His lyrical and dramatic works, however, are subordinate. Thiele was rewarded with a scholarship for his fairy tale collections. He traveled to Rome , where he befriended the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. Thiele became his biographer and was a member of the founding committee for the establishment of the Thorvaldsen Museum .
