Eckersberg was born on 15 September 1808 in Copenhagen, the son of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg and Christine Rebekka Hyssing. His parents divorced when he was small. In 1812–15, while his father went on a study trip abroad, he was placed in the foster care of printmaker Oluf Olufsen Bagge and his wife Karen.
