About the piece
Painted in 1837, this work by Christen Købke captures the quiet dignity of the Citadel in Copenhagen. The striking red of the northern drawbridge provides a bold geometric contrast to the soft, atmospheric light of the Danish sky and the serene reflection in the water below, exemplifying the mastery of light characteristic of the Danish Golden Age.
