About Anders Bundgaard

Lived 1864 – 1937 (aged 73). Anders Bundgaard was a Danish sculptor.

Anders Bundgaard (7 August 1864 – 19 September 1937) was a Danish sculptor.

Biography Bundgaard was born at Ersted near Skørping, Denmark. He was the son of Jens Christensen Tved and Maren Andersdatter Bundgaard.

Bundgaard was awarded several scholarships: Raben-Levetzau (1889, 1891); Hielmstierne-Rosencrone (1891); Ancker (1894). He conducted study trips to Paris (1889–1892), then to Genoa, Naples, Pompeii, Rome, and Florence; again Paris (189); Italy (1894–1895); Italy, Egypt and Greece (1899–1900); and Italy (1921–1922). His study trips in Paris provided him with inspiration from Jules Dalou, Alexandre Falguière and Auguste Rodin. In addition, his father's interest in mythology and folk tales reinforced his imaginative approach which can be seen in his robust, Naturalistic works, often made of granite. His interest in ecclesiastical art from the Middle Ages is also apparent.

Personal life In 1894, he married Elisabeth Kabell (1874–1957).

Bundgaard was made a knight in the Order of the Danneborg. He died at Copenhagen.

He was buried at Gravlev kirkegard in Rebild Municipality.

Selected works Gefion Fountain, Copenhagen (1908) Granskende pige, Copenhagen (1934) Cimber Bull, Aalborg (1937)
