Valdemar den Store bliver forbundet i Absalons moders hus, hvor han har søgt tilflugt efter overfaldet i Roskilde 1821 - 1840

"Valdemar den Store bliver forbundet i Absalons moders hus, hvor han har søgt tilflugt efter overfaldet i Roskilde," painted between 1821 and 1840 by Danish artist Peter Raadsig, depicts a dramatic moment in Danish history. The artwork portrays King Valdemar the Great receiving medical attention after being attacked in Roskilde. The painting captures the tension and drama of the scene, with the king seated in a room, while a woman attends to his wounds, and others look on anxiously. This historical narrative painting, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Raadsig's skill in portraying historical events with vivid detail.
