Apparently Count Danish Depicted Ulfeldt
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th-century print captures Count Korfits Ulfeldt and his impressive family gathered around a grand table, surrounded by the opulence of their well-appointed home. Ulfeldt, a prominent Danish statesman, is depicted in the center, his serious expression betraying the weight of responsibility that rested upon his shoulders. The count's wife, with a gentle smile, tenderly cares for one of their many children, while the other offspring play and frolic about, their youthful energy in stark contrast to their father's sober demeanor. The Ulfeldt family was renowned for its size, with a reported total of seventeen children. This image, therefore, provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a wealthy and influential Danish household of the time. The elaborate clothing and sumptuous furnishings on display are indicative of the family's affluence and social standing. The intricate details of the room, from the ornate tapestries on the walls to the delicate porcelain on the table, serve to further emphasize the family's wealth and status. Count Korfits Ulfeldt played a significant role in Danish politics during the mid-17th century, serving as a trusted advisor to King Christian IV and later becoming the Governor-General of Norway. Despite his political achievements, however, it is this intimate portrayal of his family life that endures as a testament to his legacy. The print offers a poignant reminder of the complexities and joys of family life in the Danish aristocracy during this period.
