Nielsen, Anne Marie Carl

Biography in relation to Skagen

Creator of the fisherman statue "Danish Fisherman and Rescuer" in 1909, which was erected at Skagen Harbour on the occasion of the harbour's 25th anniversary in 1932.   

There was some opposition from several fishermen and Skag residents who were upset that the model, Christian Christensen Harboe (died 1909), was not from Skagen but from Hanstholm. They threatened to prevent the erection of the monument, but it has now stood in its place ever since. 

I 1890 modtog Carl Nielsen Det Ancher'ske Legat, der gav ham mulighed for at tage ud på en længere studierejse til Tyskland og Frankrig. 

I det skandinaviske selskabsliv i Paris mødte han den to år ældre danske billedhugger og maler Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen (født Brodersen, 21. juni 1863 i Sdr. Stenderup – 21. februar 1945 i København). 

De fejrede en uofficiel bryllupsfest uden papirer 10. april på en restaurant i Paris. Herefter rejste de sammen videre til Italien, hvor de blev viet 10. maj i den engelske kirke i Firenze. 

Sammen fik de døtrene Irmelin (1891-1974, gift Eggert-Møller) og Anne Marie (1893-1983, gift 1918-36 med violinvirtuosen Emil Telmányi) samt sønnen Hans Børge (1895-1956), der var retarderet. Ingen af Nielsens officielle børn efterlod sig børn

 In 1890 Carl Nielsen received the Ancher Scholarship, which enabled him to go on an extended study trip to Germany and France. 

In the Scandinavian society in Paris, he met the Danish sculptor and painter Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen (born Brodersen, 21 June 1863 in Sdr. Stenderup - 21 February 1945 in Copenhagen), who was two years his senior. 

They celebrated an unofficial wedding without papers on 10 April at a restaurant in Paris. They then travelled together to Italy, where they were married on 10 May in the English church in Florence. 

Together they had daughters Irmelin (1891-1974, married Eggert-Møller) and Anne Marie (1893-1983, married 1918-36 to the violin virtuoso Emil Telmányi) and a son Hans Børge (1895-1956), who was retarded. None of Nielsen's official children left children

Rytterstatuen er opstillet i 1928. Monumentet var hendes største opgave, som hun fik efter en konkurrence i 1908, og efter 20 års intenst arbejde med studier og valg af hestetype (en hannoveraner) blev statens tredje rytterstatue indviet, 22 år efter kongens død.

The equestrian statue was erected in 1928. The monument was her biggest commission, which she received after a competition in 1908, and after 20 years of intense work studying and choosing the type of horse (a Hanoverian), the state's third equestrian statue was inaugurated, 22 years after the King's death.
