Eckersberg writes in his diary about the present painting (in Danish): 3 September 1830: “Began a new painting, a sea piece...” 29 September 1830: “Finished the sea piece today, it represents, view to the south from the road of Elsinore with a Danish corvette at anchor and smaller ships, some under sail and some at anchor.” From his early childhood in Blaakrog by Als Fjord in Southern Jutland, Eckersberg was fascinated by the sea and ships, and although history painting was at the time the most respected genre at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, he already began painting seascapes during his studies here in the 1800s. In the 1820s, Eckersberg began to deal more seriously with marine painting, and in the 1830s and 40s it became his favorite genre. Here he could combine his great love for the sea, ships and nature.
