About the piece

Painted in 1872 by Frederik Christian Lund, this grand historical work captures the Dutch fleet passing through the Oresund during the Dano-Swedish War. The composition masterfully contrasts the imposing Renaissance architecture of the castle with a lively foreground of soldiers and spectators, all set beneath a luminous, expansive sky.
