"Fred siden 1720..." 1798

"Fred siden 1720..." (Peace Since 1720...) is a satirical print from 1798, created by an anonymous artist. The print depicts a group of men seated at a table, each holding a jar labelled with the year 1720. The scene is a commentary on the perceived peace in Denmark since the year 1720, and it is likely that the men represent powerful figures of the time. The print, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, uses caricature and symbolism to convey a message of social critique, and is an important example of Danish satire.
