EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Christian IV, King of Denmark, and his eldest son Frederick in a moment frozen in time. Painted by the talented artist Robert Dunkarton in 1816, this masterpiece captures the essence of royalty and fatherhood. Christian IV was a prominent figure who ruled over Denmark and Norway from 1588 until his passing in 1648. His reign marked an important era as he introduced the concept of absolute monarchy to Denmark. The baton was then passed on to his son Frederick III, who continued his father's legacy. Dressed impeccably in traditional Danish attire, both father and son exude regality with their cloaks, hats, and ruffs. Their garments reflect the fashion trends of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries while symbolizing their status as monarchs. This mezzotint print is part of a collection titled "Fifteen Splendid Portraits of Royal Personages" engraved by Richard Earlom, Charles Turner, and R Dunkarton. Printed by J McCreery in London during that same year, it serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with royal figures throughout history. As we gaze upon this monochrome image filled with rich historical significance, we are transported back to an era when kings ruled sovereign nations. It reminds us not only of Christian IV's influential rule but also highlights the importance of family ties within royal dynasties.
