Frederiksholms kanal, t.v. Prinsens Palæ 1740s

"Frederiksholms kanal, t.v. Prinsens Palæ" is an etching by Danish artist Bartholomæus Roque, created in the 1740s. This detailed print, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a bustling scene in Copenhagen, Denmark. The central focus is Frederiksholms Kanal, with elegant carriages and figures traversing the waterway. Roque's meticulous attention to detail captures the architectural grandeur of Prinsens Palæ on the left and the cityscape extending into the distance. The use of line and shading create a realistic and atmospheric rendition of 18th-century Copenhagen.
