Daniel Hermann Anton Melbye was born in Copenhagen, the eldest brother of artists Vilhem and Fritz Melbye. He had originally wanted to be a sailor and trained as a shipbuilder before becoming a pupil of Christoffer-Wilhelm Eckersberg. He received international acclaim as an artist, and depicted shipping lanes around the world, such as the scene before the rock of Gibraltar. In 1847 Melbye moved to Paris where he obtained the patronage of Louis-Philippe and later Napoleon III. (Bio from askART)
