Biography
[edit]At age eleven he received a dispensation and was admitted into the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, studying under Wilhelm Marstrand, among others.[1]
In 1866, he received the academy's travel grant and went to Paris and later to Italy. His stay in Paris had a particularly deep impact on his work, turning it in a direction characterized by more freedom, more colour, stronger light, and broader scope.[1] Upon his return in 1868, he married Clara Charlotte Elise Haagensen on August 18 [2]
He was named a Commander in the Order of the Dannebrog and later was awarded the Dannebrogordenens Hæderstegn. [citation needed]
He received early recognition as a portrait painter but he also showed great interest in painting animal motifs, gradually also turning to genre works and history painting.[1]
In 1880 Bache became a professor, and then the director of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts between the years of 1890–1892, 1896–1899, 1905–1906 before being succeeded by Vilhelm Bissen in 1906.[3]
He was the father of lawyer Niels Haagensen Bache.
