Early life and education
Conradsen was born on 17 November 1817 in Copenhagen, the son of court medallist Johannes Just Conradsen (1783–1856) and Dorothea Laurine Møller (1784–1874). Conradsen attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1822. He won both the Academy's small and large silver medal followed by the small gold medal in 1843 for the relief Boas og Ruth and the large gold medal in 1845 for Hektors Afsked med Andromache. He was at the same time trained as a medallist under H. E. Freund.[2]
Career
Conradsen's first work as a medallist was the medal Pro meritis. He was the following year awarded the Neuhausen Prize for his model for a speciedaler coin and was subsequently commissioned to engrave the stamps for Christian VIII's speciesdaler.
He was upon his father's retirement in 1841 employed as assistant medallist under Frederik Christopher Krohn at the Royal Mint.[3]
In 1846–50, he went abroad on the Academy's large travel stipend. During his stay in Rome he worked on two medals to Bertel Thorvaldsen and Adam Oehlenschläger. The Oehlenschläger medal was his reception piece for the Academy of which he became a member on 10 March 1851.
He succeeded Krohn as royal medallist in 1873. He retired in 1901.
