About the piece

Painted in 1834, this work by Danish master Christen Købke depicts a serene view of the Kastellet in Copenhagen. The composition masterfully balances the lush summer foliage of a grand tree with the sturdy architecture of the citadel's northern gate and a simple wooden bridge, all bathed in the gentle, warm light characteristic of the Danish Golden Age.
