More about this artwork

This painting by Christen Købke, titled "Frederiksborg Castle," beautifully captures the grandeur and serene ambiance of the historic Danish castle. The artist employs a soft, almost sublime approach to the depiction, focusing attention on the intricate architecture and the reflection on the water. It's a near-sunset scene indicated by the warm glow on the horizon and the gentle light casting over the castle's brickwork and ornate spires.The main focus of the composition is the distinctive red brick of Frederiksborg Castle, set against the backdrop of a clear sky. The castle's architecture, with its rounded towers and copper green rooftops, is rendered with detailed precision, embodying a sense of historical elegance. The green-domed towers add a striking contrast to the red bricks, enhancing the visual appeal of the castle.In the foreground, we see tranquil water bodies, over which a small arched bridge crosses. These elements not only add depth and perspective to the painting but also create a reflective surface, mirroring the castle and the soft sky, adding a peaceful symmetry to the scene.To the left, trees in autumnal colors frame the view, introducing nature's own palette into the architecture's rigorous formality.

Portraits, landscapes and the beauty of Scandinavian nature by Christen Købke (1810-1848). “The Danish master of light” was one of the best-known artists of the Danish Golden Age. Born in Copenhagen, Købke trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied under the portrait painter C.A Lorentzen. It was here that he was introduced to plein-air painting, which became the hallmark of his later work.
