Frederik IV 1699 - 1729

Nicolai Wichmann’s portrait of Frederik IV, King of Denmark and Norway, is a classic example of 18th-century portraiture. Created between 1699 and 1729, the painting depicts the monarch in full regalia, showcasing his power and authority. The king is shown standing proudly, his gaze directed toward the viewer. The elaborate details of his attire, including his crown and ermine-lined robe, emphasize his royal status. The painting is now on display at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, allowing viewers to appreciate this impressive work of art.
