Benjamin Wolff (1790-1866): A Danish Collector and Patron of the Arts Benjamin Wolff was a Danish businessman, landowner, and art collector whose life intersected with significant cultural developments in 19th century Denmark. Born in Copenhagen in 1790 to Lars Peder Wolff, a horse trader, and Christiane Margrethe Nielsen, he inherited a considerable fortune from his father’s trade activities—a foundation that would propel him into the world of art patronage and scholarship.

A chart of Benjamin Wolff's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
