Danmark symboliseret ved en kvinde, siddende på rigsvåbnet med en bibel, foran hende står en vinget genius med fakkel 1836

Hermann Ernst Freund's 1836 bas-relief, "Danmark symboliseret ved en kvinde, siddende på rigsvåbnet med en bibel, foran hende står en vinget genius med fakkel", depicts a seated female figure representing Denmark, holding a bible. A winged genius stands before her holding a torch. The female figure sits atop the Danish coat of arms, symbolizing the country's foundation. This neoclassical work, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, highlights the nation's traditional values and its commitment to knowledge. The use of a torch-carrying genius reflects the Enlightenment and the spread of knowledge through education and inspiration.
