EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait depicts Christian II of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, also known as Christian the Tyrant, painted by the renowned German artist Lucas Cranach the Elder around 1537. Christian II reigned as King of Denmark and Norway from 1513 to 1523, and as King of Sweden from 1520 to 1523. However, his rule was marked by controversy and conflict, including the execution of several nobles and the infamous Witch Trials of 1526 in Denmark. This painting, held at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, Germany, captures the regal presence and stern expression of the monarch. The vertical, upright composition and vibrant colors bring the portrait to life, offering a glimpse into the politics and policies of the early modern era. Christian II's complex and controversial reign continues to be a subject of historical interest and debate among scholars and enthusiasts of European history.
