Biography:
Nicolai Abraham Abildgaard first studied at the Copenhagen Academy before moving to Rome in 1772. There he met Fuseli who influenced him to produce work with Romantic elements. Five years later, Abildgaard returned to Denmark and began painting in a classical style, demonstrated by his works depicting the Roman authors Terence and Apuleius. From 1789 to 1791, Abildgaard served as the director of the Copenhagen Academy. He also worked occasionally as a sculptor, architect and designer.
