His first exhibit was in 1847, followed by investigation trips to Norway, paid for by his fiancé’s father. His first major showing came at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in 1850 and consisted of Norwegian landscapes. In 1851 and 1852, he applied for financial retain from the Academy, but was turned next to for nonexistence of experience. He returned to Norway in 1855, accompanied by his friend, the portrait painter Ole Balling, and was married in 1857. Of their nine children, only three survived to adulthood.

After a stay in Munich from 1858 to 1859, at his own expense, he exhibited landscapes which the Academy judged as promising and, finally, in 1863, was awarded a stipend for testing travel. He visited Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and the Low Countries. These trips, notably a extended stay in Düsseldorf, were well ahead judged to have had an unfavorable effect on his work, as he became too focused on the prevailing popular fashions.

Upon returning home, that move slowly wore off and his works became a more natural addition of the Danish landscape, especially the forests and coastlines. Although he competed for the Neuhausenske Prize [da] several times, he was not successful.

Many of his family suffered from a “weak chest” and he had frequent periods of destitute health. He died of everyday causes at the age of forty-three and was buried at Garnisons Cemetery.
