EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving of Frederick II, the esteemed King of Denmark from 1534 to 1588. Published in 1780 as part of the Receuil des Estampes collection by Pierre Duflos, this artwork is now housed in a private collection. Frederick II was an influential ruler who left an indelible mark on Danish history. Known for his military prowess and strategic thinking, he built the formidable fortress of Kronborg at Elsinore and waged successful wars against Sweden. This portrait captures him in all his regal splendor, donning majestic robes adorned with a garter symbolizing his membership in the prestigious Order of the Garter. Beyond his military achievements, Frederick II also patronized renowned astronomer Tycho Brahe and supported arts and sciences during his reign. His commitment to intellectual pursuits further elevated his popularity among both scholars and commoners alike. The engraving portrays Frederick II as a powerful figure, holding a sceptre while wearing a crown that signifies his royal authority. The attention to detail evident in this print highlights not only the craftsmanship but also reflects the importance placed on preserving historical figures through art. This remarkable image offers us a glimpse into one of Denmark's most significant rulers from the 16th century – an era marked by political intrigue, territorial conflicts, and cultural advancements. It serves as a testament to Frederick II's enduring legacy as both an accomplished statesman and supporter of knowledge and creativity.
