early life and training
wilhelm marstrand, a renowned danish painter, was born on december 24, 1810, in copenhagen, denmark. his father, nicolai jacob marstrand, an instrument maker and inventor, encouraged his son's artistic inclinations. at the age of 16, wilhelm began his studies at the academy under the guidance of christian waagepetersen, a wine merchant to the danish court and supporter of the arts.
artistic career
