Dronning Thyres sultedød efter Olavs fald ved Svolder 1852

This pencil drawing by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich depicts the death of Queen Thyre, the wife of King Harald Bluetooth, following the death of her son Olaf at the Battle of Svolder. The scene portrays the queen in a regal setting, with a shield and sword on the wall behind her. A monk offers her a final comfort, emphasizing the somber and melancholic tone of the artwork. This piece, completed in 1852, showcases Frølich's skill in depicting historical events and evokes a sense of historical drama and personal tragedy. It can be found in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
