1609 1648 1670 Danish Denmark Frederick Norway Oval Wavy
EDITORS COMMENTS
Frederick III (1609-1670), also known as Frederick III of the Oldenburg Dynasty, was the King of Denmark and Norway from 1648 until his death in 1670. This striking oval portrait captures Frederick III in the prime of his life, with his dark, wavy hair framing a serious and intelligent expression. Born on October 5, 1609, in Copenhagen, Denmark, Frederick III was the eldest son of King Christian IV and Anne Catherine of Brandenburg. He ascended to the throne following the death of his father in 1648, during a time of great political instability in Denmark and Norway. Frederick III's reign was marked by a series of military campaigns aimed at securing Danish and Norwegian territories, as well as efforts to modernize the Danish state and strengthen its economy. He is perhaps best known for his successful war against Sweden, which ended with the Treaty of Copenhagen in 1660. This victory secured Denmark's control over the Baltic Sea and solidified its position as a major European power. Despite his military successes, Frederick III faced numerous challenges during his reign, including internal political unrest and financial difficulties. He died on February 9, 1670, leaving behind a complex legacy that continues to be studied by historians today. This portrait, with its intricate detail and sense of historical significance, offers a glimpse into the life and reign of a fascinating and influential monarch.
