Dansk rigsvåben 1780 - 1836

"Dansk rigsvåben" is a detailed engraving by Danish artist Oluf Olufsen Bagge, created between 1780 and 1836. This small, yet intricate, artwork depicts the Royal Coat of Arms of Denmark. The central shield features the national coat of arms, with the Danish flag in the center, surrounded by smaller shields representing the various provinces and territories of Denmark. Two figures, likely representing supporters, flank the shield. This engraving, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, exemplifies the careful detail and artistry of 18th-century Danish engraving, a popular art form for showcasing historical and national symbols.
