Order of the Dannebrog (1897) Thorvaldsen Medal (1884) Neuhausens Prize (1869)
August Andreas Jerndorff (25 January 1846 – 28 July 1906) was a Danish painter who is best known for his portraits.[1][2]
Biography
August Jarndorff was born in Oldenburg in Lower Saxony. His parents were Just Ulrik Jerndorff (1806-1847), painter to the Oldenburg Court, and Nancy Caroline née Jones (1809-1877).[3]
He trained first under Christian Hetsch (1830–1903), artistic director at the Royal Porcelain Factory. He attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1863 to 1868 and studied privately with P. C. Skovgaard (1817–1875). He made his debut as a painter in 1866. In 1869, he received the Neuhausens Prize. In 1875, he received the Royal Academy's travel scholarship and traveled to Italy, where he lived from 1875 to 1878. He became acquainted with but remained relatively unaffected by the latest Realist tendencies in European painting.[4]
He received the Thorvaldsen Medal in 1884 and became a professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1891.[7]
Paintings
Jerndorff started his career as a landscape painter under the influence of Skovgaard, but soon turned to portrait painting and Biblical subjects. He is best known for a number of monumental portraits which were painted for the Danish museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle. His religious paintings include 12 Apostles for Jesus Church in Copenhagen,[7] altar pieces for Saint Peter's Church and the church in Nykøbing Mors, and landscapes.
