Carl Frederik Emanuel Larsen usually known asEmanuel Larsen (15 September 1823, Copenhagen – 24 September 1859, Copenhagen) was aDanish painter who specialized in marine painting.[1]
Larsen was admitted to theRoyal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in January 1839 where he was a student ofChristoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg andFrederik Theodor Kloss. Under Eckersberg, he specialized in marine painting. In 1845, he exhibited hisMorgen ved Sjællands Kyst which was purchased by theStatens Museum for Kunst. The same year, he travelled on a naval ship to theFaroe Islands andIceland and from 1852–54 toEngland,Holland,Belgium,Paris and the FrenchMediterranean coast.[2][3]
He was awarded the Neuhausen Prize in 1851 forUdsigt fra Langelinie mod Nyholm med Mastekranen. Morgenbelysning. Despite his interest in Dutch marine art, Larsen was probably the Danish artist who was least influenced by foreign works. The influentialChristian Jürgensen Thomsen (1788- 1865) praised Larssen's work, commenting that his paintings showed he had "an eye for the fresh, open life at sea" and that his ships were "not still but really appear to move". Larsen died in September 1859 after a short illness.[2][3]
