Frihedsstøtten set fra Frederiksbergsiden. 1798 - 1801

"Frihedsstøtten set fra Frederiksbergsiden" (Freedom Column seen from Frederiksberg) is a watercolor on paper by Danish artist Frederik Ludvig Bradt. The artwork, dated 1798-1801, depicts the Freedom Column, a monument erected in Copenhagen to commemorate the Danish people's successful defense against a Swedish invasion in 1659. The artwork provides a view of the monument from Frederiksberg, showcasing the obelisk-shaped column with its surrounding sculptures. The scene is set against a backdrop of a city skyline, including the spire of a church, and a windmill. Bradt's attention to detail in capturing the urban landscape and the monument's grandeur contributes to this 19th-century representation of Danish history and architectural significance.
