EDITORS COMMENTS
Frederick V: The Enlightened Monarch of Denmark and Norway (1723-1766) This elegant portrait captures Frederick V, King of Denmark and Norway (1723-1766), in the prime of his reign. Born on January 14, 1723, in Copenhagen, Denmark, Frederick succeeded his father, Christian VI, at the tender age of 15. His reign, which lasted until his death in 1766, is remembered for its cultural and intellectual achievements. Frederick's fashionable attire in this portrait reflects the opulence and sophistication of the European court. The king wears a richly embroidered robe, adorned with gold braid and intricate designs, over a velvet doublet and breeches. The ruff collar, lace cuffs, and knee-high stockings add to the grandeur of his appearance. Despite his young age, Frederick proved to be a capable and enlightened ruler. He was an advocate of the Enlightenment and encouraged the arts, sciences, and education. Frederick founded the University of Copenhagen in 1754 and established the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters in 1742. He also supported the arts, commissioning works by renowned artists such as Nicolas Poussin and Antoine Watteau. Frederick's reign was not without challenges. He faced military conflicts with Sweden and Russia, as well as internal political strife. However, he managed to maintain the stability of his kingdom and leave a lasting legacy. This portrait captures the essence of Frederick V as a monarch who embraced the intellectual and cultural trends of his time while maintaining the traditional duties and responsibilities of his office. The image serves as a reminder of the complex and dynamic nature of monarchy during the Enlightenment era.
