christian albrecht jensen -lrb- 26 june 1792 -- 13 july 1870 -rrb- was a danish portrait painter who was active during the golden age of danish painting in the first half of the 19th century .
painting more than 400 portraits over the course of his career , he depicted most of the leading figures of the danish golden age , including the writer hans christian andersen , the painter christoffer wilhelm eckersberg , the sculptor bertel thorvaldsen , the physicist hans christian Ørsted and the theologian n. f. s. grundtvig .
although jensen experienced considerable commercial success , he received little official appreciation from the artistic establishment of his day .
in particular , the art historian and critic niels lauritz høyen criticized his style , finding his paintings ` unfinished ' .
