The story behind the motif
Canvas with a beautiful portrait of Frederick II (1534-1588) - king of Denmark and Norway from 1559.
Frederick II was the son of Christian III of Denmark and Dorothea of Saxe-Lauenburg. As the mother was the sister of Gustav Vasa's first wife Catherine of Saxe-Lauenburg, Fredrik was a cousin of the Swedish king Erik XIV, who was Catherine's son.
Frederick II suffered from malaria and during the last years of his life was plagued by illness. In his eulogy, the famous historiographer and priest Anders Sørensen Vedel openly declared that the king likely hastened his death through drunkenness.
