Frederik II Builds Kronborg Castle at Elsinore
Artist: Nicolai Abildgaard (Danish, 1743-1809)
Date: 1781
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: SMK, The National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark
Description
King Frederik II transformed the older fortress "Krogen" into the magnificent Renaissance Kronborg Castle at Elsinore (Helsingør), Denmark, starting in 1574, aiming to build a powerful symbol of Danish might and a grand European palace, famed for its lavish parties, impressive Great Hall, and later as the setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet. He added bastions, towers, and ornate decorations, creating a strong fortress and a luxurious royal residence, though it was later damaged by fire and rebuilt, solidifying its status as a cultural landmark.

William Buckland (1734-1774)
Artist: Charles Willson Peale (American, 1741–1827)
Date: 1774, reworked 1789
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT, United States
Description
Peale's portrait of William Buckland, the Annapolis architect and builder, was begun when Buckland was in the flush of his success, having finished his architectural masterpiece, the Matthias Hammond House. Peale shows Buckland in a relaxed pose holding a drafting pen, with the architectural plans for Hammond House on the table. The imaginative symbolic background displays the base of a monumental column and an uncommon five-column portico. Peale has caught Buckland's vigorous personality and strength of character, creating a portrait of vivacity and individuality. Buckland died unexpectedly before the portrait was finished, and Peale did not complete it until fifteen years later, at the request of the sitter's daughter.
Louis-Philippe I, King of the French (1773–1850)
Artist: Franz Xaver Winterhalter (German, 1805–1873)
Date: 1841
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Palace of Versailles, Paris, France
Portrait of Louis Philippe
Portrait of Louis Philippe I is an 1841 portrait painting by the German artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter depicting the French monarch Louis Philippe I. Winterhalter was rapidly emerging as one of the most fashionable portrait painters in Europe and had numerous royal sitters that year alone.
His painting of Louis Philippe was a celebration of the king's role in the restoration and reopening of the Palace of Versailles as a Museum of French History. He is shown in the uniform of a major general with the Galerie des Batailles behind him. His hand rests on the architectural plans for the gallery and nearby is a statuette of Joan of Arc created by his daughter Princess Marie. Today the painting is in collection of Versailles having been acquired in 1975. It recreates the pose from an earlier portrait by Winterhalter with a different background.
