Asmus Jacob Carstens was a Danish-German painter and a committed artist of German Neoclassicism. His career was erratic, and many of his large projects were left incomplete or destroyed, with much of what survives being drawings for unrealized fresco commissions.

Read full biography

Asmus Jacob Carstens (or "Jakob", May 10, 1754 – May 25, 1798) was a Danish-German painter, one of the most committed artists of German Neoclassicism. His career was erratic, partly because of his difficult personality, and the majority of his large projects were left incomplete, or subsequently destroyed. Much of what survives is in the form of drawings, many using "a schematic, pale colouring as a timid and humble accessory to the dominating figure-drawing", that were planned for large fresco commissions that never materialized.
