Grev Otto af Oldenborg og det oldenborgske horn 1862

F.L. Storch's 1862 oil painting, "Grev Otto af Oldenborg og det oldenborgske horn," depicts a dramatic scene from Danish history. The artwork shows Count Otto of Oldenburg, a figure of great historical importance, riding his white horse through a dense forest. He holds aloft the Oldenborg horn, a symbol of the dynasty's power, while a woman, perhaps representing Denmark, reaches out to him, her hand outstretched. The detailed rendering of the figures, the horse's dynamic pose, and the lush forest backdrop make this a highly evocative and historically significant work, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
