Vignet til Frederik V's Søkrigsartikelsbrev 1754 - 1758

This etching, created by Odvardt Helmoldt de Lode between 1754 and 1758, is a striking example of Rococo ornamentation. The intricate design features a winged figure blowing a trumpet amidst a swirling mass of weapons, shields, and flags, all resting on a richly decorated base. This vignette, intended for Frederik V's war-related letter, highlights the grandeur and power associated with the Danish monarchy during the 18th century. The piece, now held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases de Lode's mastery of detail and the dynamism of the Rococo style.
