The Exhibition includes several works that are very renowned in Denmark and most of which are part of the permanent exhibition at the National Gallery of Denmark. Traditionally, the Golden Age of Danish Art is defined as a period from the beginning to the middle of the 19th century, which for the country as a whole was one of the most difficult times: in the course of several wars, colonies and territories in Norway, northern Germany and elsewhere were lost. At that same time, a powerful process of national self-determination was underway, in which art played an extremely important role.
