Emilius Ditlev Baerentzen

Emilius Ditlev Baerentzen was a graphic artist and printmaker whose documented activity spans the decade between 1836 and 1846. His surviving oeuvre consists predominantly of portraiture executed as prints, a medium favored for the widespread distribution of images of notable individuals during the mid-nineteenth century.

Eight prints by Baerentzen are represented in museum collections, including works held by the Rijksmuseum. These holdings establish his contribution to 19th-century European graphic arts. His subjects included prominent literary and social figures of the period. Among the most recognized Emilius Ditlev Baerentzen prints are the Portret van Hans Christian Andersen, the Portret van Christian Winther, and the Portret van Frederik Høegh-Guldberg. Additional works preserved in collections include the Portret van Jobst Conrad Hirch Lemmich and the Portret van Madam Godefroy-Schossig.

Given the time frame of their creation, these materials are widely available in the public domain. The preservation of these high-quality prints in established institutions ensures their accessibility for scholarship and study, often as downloadable artwork.
