Jens Juel was certainly one of, if not the first, Danish artist to rise to international fame during his lifetime. He was the most sought-after portraitist in his homeland of Denmark, receiving numerous commissions from the royal family, the aristocracy, and the upper classes. Following his training at the Hamburg studio of Johann Michael Gehrmann, in around 1760 Juel moved on to the Copenhagen Academy, which had been founded just a few years previously. He then embarked on an eight year Grand Tour which led him through many of Europe's great artistic centres including Vienna, Paris, Venice, and Rome, where he also made the acquaintance of Pompeo Batoni. Juel arrived back in Copenhagen in 1780 and was immediately appointed royal court painter. He was also offered a professorship at the Copenhagen Academy and became its director for two periods. He also ran a studio with numerous employees. Although the sitter of this portrait makes an open and friendly impression, he was in fact a very colourful personality. Christophe Battier was born in Switzerland in 1733 and naturalised as an English citizen in 1760. Ten years later he is documented in Copenhagen working as an accountant for the Danish East India Company. In 1783, newspapers in Copenhagen report his bankruptcy: His shares and possessions were sold and Battier was forced to flee the country. Battier finally shot himself in the gardens of Tuileries Palace in Paris in 1786, apparently after losing his last remaining funds in the lottery. In happier times in Denmark, Christophe Battier married Anna Elisabeth Storp, a burgher's daughter from Copenhagen, in 1772. A portrait of her by Jens Juel is today housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (inv. no. KMS3634). This portrait of her husband is dated 1772, which indicates that it may have been commissioned on occasion of their wedding.

Malerier i privat eje, Kopenhagen, Kunstforeningen, 16.11.-12.12.1982, Nr. 24. Literatur Carl V. Petersen, in: Juleroser, 1930, S. 10. - Winkel, V. & Magnussen (Hg.): Kunst i privat Eje, Kopenhagen 1945, Bd. 2, S. 214, Abb. S. 215. - Ellen Poulsen: Jens Juel, Kopenhagen 1961, Tafel 34. Jens Juel ist sicher einer der ersten, wenn nicht der erste dänische Künstler, der bereits zu Lebzeiten internationale Berühmtheit erlangte. In seiner dänischen Heimat der gefragteste Porträtist seiner Zeit erhielt er zahlreiche Aufträge sowohl von der königlichen Familie als auch vom Adel und dem höheren Bürgertum. Nach einer ersten Ausbildung im Hamburger Atelier von Johann Michael Gehrmann, ging Juel um 1760 an die erst wenige Jahre zuvor gegründete Kopenhagener Kunstakademie. Eine 8-jährige „Grand Tour“ führte ihn anschließend in viele europäische Kunstzentren, darunter Wien, Paris, Venedig und Rom, wo er u.a. die Bekanntschaft von Pompeo Batoni machte. 1780 traf Juel wieder in Kopenhagen ein und wurde dort umgehend zum königlichen Hofmaler ernannt. Er erhielt außerdem eine Professur an der Kunstakademie, als deren Direktor er überdies zweimal amtierte, und führte eine große Werkstatt mit zahlreichen Mitarbeitern. Obwohl der Dargestellte des vorliegenden Portraits einen ebenso offenen wie freundlichen Eindruck macht, scheint es sich doch um eine recht schillernde Persönlichkeit gehandelt zu haben: 1733 in der Schweiz geboren, wurde Christophe Battier 1760 als Engländer naturalisiert. Zehn Jahre später finden wir ihn in Kopenhagen, wo er Buchhalter der Dänischen Asien-Kompanie wurde. 1783 vermelden die Kopenhagener Zeitungen jedoch seinen Bankrott: Seine Aktien und Habseligkeiten werden verkauft und Battier muss außer Landes fliehen. In den Gärten des Tuilerienschlosses in Paris hat sich Battier schließlich 1786 erschossen, nachdem er in einer Lotterie offenbar seine letzten Geldmittel verspielt hatte. In den glücklicheren Zeiten in Dänemark hat Christophe Battier 1772 die Kopenhagener Bürgerstochter Anna Elisabeth Storp geheiratet. Ein von Jens Juel angefertigtes Portrait von ihr befindet sich heute im Statens Museum for Kunst (Inv.-Nr. KMS3634). Da das vorliegende Portrait ihres Gemahls 1772 datiert ist, mag die Hochzeit durchaus der Anlass für den Portraitauftrag gewesen sein.
