Mønsted was born at Balle Mølle near Grenå, in Jutland, the son of a prosperous ship-builder. After receiving painting lessons at the art school in Aarhus, from 1875 to 1879 he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts with Niels Simonsen and Julius Exner, and under Peder Severin Krøyer. While visiting Paris in 1883, he worked in the studio of William Bouguereau, under whose tutelage he further honed his rigorous academic style which he applied to landscape.
