Emil Itzig Levin Jacobsen

[Carlo de Pace]

Hello,

I'm an italian student of History of Arts. I'm conducting a reaserch on Emil Itzig Levin Jacobsen. He was an amateur danish art historian, who made interesting reaserch of northern italian Art. I'm looking for any kind of news about him, but in particular I would like to know if he still have some heir in Danemark, or anywhere else in the world.

What I already find out about him and could be useful for the research is:

- date of birth (Copenhagen 1849) and death  (Nice 1914)
- he was a son of a typographer
- he married Rosalie Rosenfeld in 1884
- he had 2 daughter
- for a short time he opened a distillery
- in 1887 he left Denmark and lived in different contry in Europe: Italy, France and Spain
- from 1894 he get involved in study history of arts

I'm trying with all my efforts to get more news about him, but its really difficul for me because all the documents are in danish! So any kind of help or suggestion is welcome.
Thank a lot for helping me.

All the Best

Slettet.
Mener jeg læste hans navn ved at google og der var linket til DIS.

[Lissa Pedersen]

Hej Anne,

Det var mig, som startede den tråd, som du henviser til. Det er IKKE samme personer, så måske skal du slette dit indlæg!?

Anne, hvis du læser længere nede i indlægget, så var det ikke samme person.

Mvh Lissa

Thanks a lot everybody for the prompt help!

There is no way on yours opinion to trace the decendancy chart of Emil Itzig Levin Jacobsen?

In the biography I found it's said that after 1887 he never came back in Denmark, but maybe he or his daughters could appear in one of the succesive census, you never know! When took place the other census in Denmark between the end of XIX century and begin of the XXth?
The fact is that there is no way of getting the name of the daughters through the web, do you have any ideas how i can find those?

Lots of thanks again 

All the Best

Hi Carlo,

Not very easy to find his daughters, when you don't know their names.

After 1885 (1885 only for Copenhagen) there were censuses: 1890, 1901, 1906, 1911, 1916, 1921, 1925, 1930, 1940, 1950 and perhaps 1960. The latest censuses you will have to see at the National Archives, they are not (yet) on the net, and you will only be allowed to see the latest ones, if you sign a paper saying that you will only use the info for personal purposes. The problem with Copenhagen is also, where do you start looking for the persons, there are sooo many streets.

Hello Carlo,

The following census in 1890 is not transcribed, so it's not searchable. To find a person in Copenhagen, you'll have to know in which street he/she lived - or you can spend months searching and maybe still end up with nothing.

I link to this information in Danish which I found on the Internet:

http://www.rosekamp.dk/DBL_All/DBL_11_text.pdf

Nothing new for you, I guess, but just for anybody else to read.

Where do you have the information about the two daughters from? Do you know if they were born in Denmark?


Best regards,
Inger

Hi Inger,

thanks for the pdf document you send me. On page 288 I found other information about his life. A passage i didn't understand is this:

Hovedsagen for ham i hans kunstvidenskabelige
Studium var Stilbestemmelsen af det enkelte Værk: »Kunstforsk-
ning er Botanik. At der vokser Palmer i Indien, gør ikke Norges
Birkeskove mindre skønne«. Citatet, der er oversat fra Tysk (intet
af hans kunsthistoriske Produktion er kommet paa Dansk), har en
Skarphed, som J. nok kunde formulere i en Indledning, men som
han ikke formaaede at bevare i den egentlige Behandling af Emnet;
hans saglige Fremstilling bevæger sig i korte Afsnit tæt forbi de
enkelte Værker; der mangler Sammenhæng, og man kan ikke fri-
kende hans Arbejder for et noget dilettantisk Præg.

Google translation, translated it bad as:

The main thing for him in his art scientific
Study was Ask The determination of the individual work: "Art Research
tion is Botany. That grows Palmer in India doesn't Norway
Birch forests less beautiful '. The quote, translated from German (no
of his art historical production has come in Danish) has a
Sharpness that J. might well draw in an Introduction, but
he was unable to maintain the proper treatment of the subject;
His objective Manufacturing moves in short Title to pass close to the
individual works; lacking coherence, and one can not free-
know his work for a somewhat amateurish character.

Could you make it more clear?

The information I found about the daugther I get from this book: L'"Archivio storico dell' arte " e le origini della "Kunstwissenschaft" in Italia, a cura di G. C. Sciolla e F. Varallo, pag. 220, Alessandria 1999.. Where is mentioned that he had two daughter. But there is that there is no information if they were born in Danemark. But because he left Danemark in 1887 it could be that they were born abroad. I alredy check also in the emigrats database but ther is no mention about the Jacobsen family...

Best regards

Carlo de Pace
