Editing Constantin Hansen (section)

== Marriage ==
He married Magdalene Barbara Købke in 1846, and they had thirteen children. However, four children died within one year after being born and one of their sons, Hans Christian, was killed at the age of nineteen, when he fell overboard from the mast of the sailing ship on which he was a sailor.

In 1854 he was named professor at the Academy, but first became member of the Academy in 1864.  One of his daughters, [[Elise Konstantin-Hansen]], (1858–1946) became a recognized painter, and another [[Kristiane Konstantin-Hansen]] (1848–1925), became a [[tapestry]] weaver.<ref>{{cite web|url=  http://www.kvinfo.dk/side/597/bio/512/origin/170/|title= Elise Konstantin-Hansen (1858-1946)|publisher= Dansk Kvindebiografisk Leksikon|author= Jens Peter Munk|accessdate=March 1, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=  http://www.kvinfo.dk/side/597/bio/513/origin/170/|title= Kristiane Konstantin-Hansen (1848-1925)|publisher= Dansk Kvindebiografisk Leksikon|author= Lone Egeberg|accessdate=March 1, 2019}}</ref>
