About the piece
Created in 1882 by Kristian Zahrtmann, this historical painting captures the death of Queen Sophie Amalie with intense theatricality. The work is a masterclass in texture, juxtaposing the intricate patterns of the queen's heavy gown against shimmering silks, overflowing treasure chests, and the somber atmosphere of the royal chamber.
