"Slaget ved Fredericia den 6. juli 1849" (The Battle of Fredericia, July 6, 1849) is a historical painting by Danish artist Niels Simonsen. It depicts the decisive battle of the First Schleswig War, a conflict between Denmark and Prussia. Simonsen painted the scene on a grand scale, capturing the chaos and drama of the event. The foreground shows the Danish troops in the midst of battle, while the distant background suggests a vast battlefield. The painting is a significant piece of Danish national history and is now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen.
