1751 1775 Caroline Danish Denmark Grandaughter Matilda
EDITORS COMMENTS
Caroline Matilda of Wales (1751-1775), the enigmatic and controversial Queen of Christian VII of Denmark, is depicted in this elegant 18th-century portrait. Born as Princess Caroline Matilda of Wales, she was the eldest daughter of King George II of Great Britain and his consort, Queen Caroline of Ansbach. This portrait, created around 1775, captures Caroline Matilda in the prime of her youth and beauty, adorned in the regal attire of a Danish queen. The intricate border of the print, featuring a delicate floral design and the Danish crown, emphasizes her royal status and the grandeur of the Danish monarchy. Caroline Matilda's life was marked by scandal and intrigue. In 1765, she was married to the mentally unstable King Christian VII of Denmark in a bid to secure the Danish succession for the British monarchy. The marriage was unhappy, and Caroline Matilda was eventually banished from Denmark in 1772, following an affair with her chamberlain, Johann Friedrich Struensee. Despite her tumultuous reign, Caroline Matilda is remembered for her intelligence, charm, and her efforts to modernize and reform the Danish court. Her legacy continues to fascinate historians and enthusiasts of royal history, making this portrait a captivating glimpse into the past. The intricately designed border of the print adds an air of elegance and sophistication, transporting us back to the opulent world of 18th-century royalty. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of Caroline Matilda's story and the rich history of the Danish monarchy.
