Asmus Jacob Carstens

Asmus Jacob Carstens (German, 1754–1798) has 3 public-domain artworks in the Archive Lane archive, each available as a digital download or a made-to-order print.

Asmus Jacob Carstens 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.
