About the piece
Created in 1887 by Danish artist Otto Bache, this striking history painting captures Colonel Max Müller at Sankelmark Lake during the events of February 1864. The composition is defined by the sharp diagonals of the soldiers' bayonets against a cold, moody winter sky, creating a scene of intense focus and quiet drama that carries a significant old-world presence.
