DESCRIPTION:Foto: Anders Sune Berg for Frederiksborg				\n					\n	\n	    \n        \n            Special Exhibitions\nNew portrait of Frederik X in The Great Hall\nFrom 28 September\n\n				Special Exhibitions		1 / 5	→\n        \n        \n                        New portrait by Cathrine Raben Davidsen \n\n            \n			                    \n    \n\n\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n	\n	\n						Foto: Anders Sune Berg for Frederiksborg \n			\n	\n						Foto: Anders Sune Berg for Frederiksborg \n			\n	\n						Foto: Anders Sune Berg for Frederiksborg \n			\n	\n	\n		1/3\n	\n			\n		\n	\n	\n		\n			\n				For centuries\, Frederiksborg has provided the setting for portraits of Danish kings and queens\, and since the late 19th century\, The Great Hall has been dedicated to Christian IX\, known as the “father-in-law of Europe”\, and his Glücksburg descendants. Here hang some of Denmark’s best-known royal portraits\, painted by artists including Laurits Tuxen\, Otto Bache and Preben Hornung. \nOn 25 September 2026\, a new work joined their ranks with the unveiling of the first official painted portrait of King Frederik X. The portrait was created by acclaimed Danish artist Cathrine Raben Davidsen. Measuring 240 × 140 cm\, it was painted specifically for The Great Hall and hangs three metres above the floor. \nIn creating the portrait\, Raben Davidsen drew inspiration from both the gilt leather and the tapestries in The Great Hall\, adding another layer to the natural setting behind The King. First official painted portrait \nView the portrait from the right\, the left and straight on. The King hangs high above you\, and to explore the artist’s brushwork in detail\, you will need to come closer – or zoom in on a photograph. Just remember that the portrait was created to be seen from a distance\, three metres above the floor. \nDiscover more about the portrait below. \n			\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n	\n			\n		\n	\n	\n		\n			\n				Exhibition of studies and the artistic process \nTo mark the unveiling of the new portrait\, a new exhibition invites you into the process behind its creation. \nThrough photographs\, drawings and painted studies\, you can follow the journey from the earliest studies to the finished work and discover how the portrait gradually took form – and how Raben Davidsen worked with colour\, atmosphere and detail to create her artistic interpretation of Denmark’s King. \nThe exhibition also features a film documenting the creation of the portrait\, produced by Anja Hauberg Kaalund. You can watch it here too. \nThe exhibition of studies is on view until 28 February 2027. \n			\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n	\n	\n						Foto: Anders Sune Berg for Frederiksborg \n			\n	\n						Foto: Anders Sune Berg for Frederiksborg \n			\n	\n	\n		1/2\n	\n			\n		\n	\n	\n		\n			\n				Admiral and monarch \nArtist Cathrine Raben Davidsen has painted Frederik X as an admiral in the dark blue full-dress uniform of the Royal Danish Navy. The double-breasted jacket has gold-coloured buttons and epaulettes with four stars. The King wears the Order of the Elephant\, Denmark’s highest order of chivalry\, on its pale blue sash. Around his neck is the Grand Commander’s Cross of the Order of Dannebrog. \nOn his chest is a selection of The King’s Danish decorations\, together with the breast stars of the Order of the Elephant and the Order of Dannebrog. The silver\, eight-pointed breast star of the Order of the Elephant is worn uppermost. At its centre is a gilded medallion with a silver cross on a red ground\, surrounded by a silver laurel wreath. Below it\, The King wears the breast star of the Order of Dannebrog – a silver eight-pointed star bearing a white enamelled cross edged in red enamel. \nThe full-dress uniform also includes The King’s sabre\, worn in its scabbard on the ceremonial sword belt. The sabre belonged to The King’s maternal grandfather\, King Frederik IX\, and was given to The King by Queen Ingrid in 1997. In this way\, the attire connects The King’s military rank with his role as head of state and with the history of the Danish Royal House. \n			\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n	\n	\n						Foto: Anders Sune Berg for Frederiksborg \n			\n	\n						Foto: Anders Sune Berg for Frederiksborg \n			\n	\n	\n		1/2\n	\n			\n		\n	\n	\n		\n			\n				Brushstrokes and transparent layers \nIn The King’s trousers\, transparent layers lie one over another\, allowing background and figure almost to merge. The figure appears and disappears at the same time. This is characteristic of Raben Davidsen’s wider painting practice and reflects her interest in transformation: the body and identity as something not static\, but in a constant state of change. First official painted portrait… \nSeveral details connect past and present. The daisies are a tribute to Queen Margrethe\, known as “Daisy”\, creating a personal and dynastic connection between the former and current monarch. Together with the oak\, one of Denmark’s national trees\, and the landscape inspired by Kongsøre Forest\, the daisies link The King’s own story to the long history of the Danish royal line. \n			\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n			Foto: Anders Sune Berg for Frederiksborg \n	\n			\n		\n	\n	\n		\n			\n				The King is immediately recognisable in the portrait\, yet visible brushstrokes and transparent layers give the painting a free and open expression. The face and torso\, in particular\, appear precisely and carefully rendered in thicker layers of paint. The face is made up of broader strokes that come together when seen from a distance. Viewed at close range\, however\, a tension emerges between figuration and the dissolution of form. \nExperience the portrait in The Great Hall\, where it was created to be seen from a distance. Try to catch The King’s gaze. Perhaps you will sense the gravity and gentleness in his expression as you meet the gaze of Denmark’s King in The Great Hall. \nTo explore the artist’s technique in closer detail\, you can examine close-ups of the portrait here online. \n			\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n			Foto: Jette Jørs \n	\n			\n		\n	\n	\n		\n			\n				About Cathrine Raben Davidsen \nCathrine Raben Davidsen (b. 1972) is one of the leading Danish artists of her generation. She trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and has also studied at art academies in Italy and the Netherlands. \nOver more than 25 years\, she has built an extensive and diverse body of work spanning painting\, drawing\, printmaking\, ceramics\, textiles and installation. Her work is characterised by a personal and poetic visual language in which references to art history\, literature and mythology meet explorations of nature\, transformation\, memory and the human existential relationship with the world. \nCathrine Raben Davidsen has exhibited widely in Denmark and internationally and has had major solo exhibitions at venues including Copenhagen Contemporary\, Horsens Art Museum\, GL STRAND\, Rudolph Tegner’s Museum\, CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark and Kastrupgårdsamlingen. Her retrospective exhibition Let Everything Happen to You was shown at Copenhagen Contemporary in 2024 and subsequently at Horsens Art Museum. \nHer work is represented in numerous public and private collections\, including the National Gallery of Denmark\, the New Carlsberg Foundation\, Trapholt\, Horsens Art Museum\, Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg and CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark. She has received numerous awards and grants and was appointed a Knight of the Order of Dannebrog in 2015.
