Heinrich Buntzen

Heinrich Christian August Buntzen (29 September 1803, Kiel – 12 January 1892, Ordrup) was a Danish landscape painter.

He began developing his artistic talents in Kiel, partly by taking lessons from the Bünsow brothers, Ludwig Johann Christian [de] and Joachim Johann Friedrich [de], partly by self-study; copying the etchings of Antonie Waterloo.

In 1821, he went to Copenhagen, where he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, with Johan Ludwig Lund and Jens Peter Møller.

In 1833, he married Caroline Birgitte Hansen (1805–1882), the daughter of a "blogmager [no]" (someone who makes equipment for sailing ships).

He received two major travel grants: in 1838, from the Fonden ad usus publicos [da], a fund for promoting the arts and sciences, then, in 1840, from the Royal Academy.
