C.C. Andersen (Nov. 7, 1849 - 1906) was a Danish painter and conservator-restorer. He was Academy trained and traveled as far abroad as North Africa in his younger days.

As an artist he excelled in history and architecture painting, although his portraits were also highly regarded by his contemporaries. He also worked tirelessly restoring old canvases for various Danish castles and SMK - The Danish National Gallery.

Above is a canvas showing the Danish Parliament building, Christiansborg Castle, a few days after the October 1884 fire that ruined most of its interior. Andersen kept painting the damaged castle well into the 1890s...
