EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 18th century portrait, titled "Portrait of Count Jorgen Scheel" (1748-1751), was painted by the renowned Danish artist Carl Gustaf Pilo (1724-1786). The subject of the painting is Count Jorgen Scheel, a prominent Danish aristocrat and judge from the time of the Danish Enlightenment. The portrait is an oil on canvas painting, measuring approximately 112 cm x 92 cm, and is currently housed in the National Gallery of Denmark, Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), in Copenhagen. Count Scheel is depicted in three-quarter length, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, with a fur-lined coat, a colorful waistcoat, and a powdered wig. His piercing gaze is directed away from the viewer, creating an air of distrust or suspicion. This may reflect the count's role as a judge, or it could simply be a reflection of the artist's intent. The portrait is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Denmark during the 18th century, and serves as a reminder of the country's historical significance in European art. The painting's intricate details and vibrant colors bring the subject to life, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the aristocracy of the time. Carl Gustaf Pilo was a prolific artist, known for his portraits of the Danish nobility, and this painting is considered one of his finest works. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and powerful men and women of Denmark during the 18th century.
