Early life and education
Rasmus Andersen was born at Ørting, near Horsens, the son of Niels Andersen and Johanne Mortensdatter Andersen. He trained as a wood carver.[2] He attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1877 to 1884 and trained to become a sculptor at Wilhelm Bissen's studio.
Career
Andersen had his debut at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in 1882. He won the Academy's small gold medal for the relief Eumaios in 1884. He participated in the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893 as well as a number of major Danish exhibitions. Throughout his career, he specialized in portraits, both in the form of statues, busts and medallions. His statue of Enrico Dalgas was awarded the Eckersberg Medal in 1900 and a bronze cast of it was erected in Aarhus in 1901.
Andersen worked as a conservator at the Art Academy's cast collection until 1905 and at Thorvaldsens Museum from 1893 until his death.[3]
Personal life
Andersen married Karen Sofie Nielsen (1863–1929). The couple had three daughters: Gerda Andersen; Valborg Andersen and Karen Margrethe Andersen. He died at Frederiksberg and was buried in Solbjerg Park Cemetery.[4]
