Who was Sophus Black?
Sophus Black (1882 - 1960) was a Danish telegraph company executive and art collector. On completion of his education he was hired by the Great Northern Telegraph Company and stationed in China where from 1902 to 1931 he worked, amongst other places, in Shanghai, Tientsin and Hong Kong. He quickly became engrossed in Chinese art and culture. He understood and respected the Chinese mentality, learned the language, lived according to the country’s customs and began acquiring objects for his extensive collection. When the family left China in 1931 they managed to bring the entire collection home to Denmark. He became a great benefactor, donating many objects, with among others the National Museum of Denmark as recipients.
