Very Clever TLLK!!
I saw the Artists and its obvious that he has fallen for the worst mistake that an Artist has to avoid and that is painting themselves into the portrait.
I expect it will see its days out stored away in the basement.

Very strange painting. Technically good, and I suppose Christian is the focus because he is the future. But first thing I thought of when I saw him was he's Damien from "The Omen" and he's going to kill them all.
For God's sake, what is this? The Danish version of "The Addams Family"?

You both have watched too many movies The new portrait is an artistic interpretation; perhaps there will be an interview asking questions about provenance but when I first saw this work, I did not think of Charles Addams but rather Ruisdael and his ruined castles in the background This work is interesting and will, I hope, be well discussed in the Danish media. I look forward to reading the reviewslol I thought the same thing!

The painting is 2.20 by 2.20 meters and it's commisioned on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Glücksborg line getting on the throne. An anonymous wealthy person has paid. (My personal guess is Fritz Schur).

Marie looking down at Athena in a "madonna-like way" is simply to have some action in the background, because the main characters are Christian, QMII and Frederik.

Mary's tender, motherly look at Vincent symbolize her being the future queen.
According to a tradition Kluge has put himself and his wife in the picture, pretty easy to spot.
Not sure what I think about it yet, there is plenty to look at.
I have to agree with you.Horrible, horrible portrait. Looks like the Adams family or something. Little Christian seems to want to eat our soul...
