EDITORS COMMENTS
Le roi Christian II de Danemark (1481-1559) signe la condamnation à mort de Torben Oxe en 1517". This painting, created by Eilif Peterssen in 1876, depicts a significant moment in Danish history. The artwork showcases King Christian II of Denmark signing the death warrant of Torben Oxe, a condemned individual. Painted with meticulous detail and skillful brushstrokes, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 141.5x200 cm and is housed at the National Museum of Art in Oslo. The scene captures the tense atmosphere surrounding the king's decision to condemn Torben Oxe to death. Surrounding him are various figures representing different aspects of society: priests, politicians, nobility, and even a cardinal who opposes the king's orders. Their expressions reveal their thoughts on this controversial act of justice. Christian II himself is portrayed as deep in thought while holding the official document that seals Torben Oxe's fate. This portrait highlights not only his power as a monarch but also his responsibility for making difficult decisions that shape history. Intriguingly, amidst this political drama stands a woman whose presence adds another layer of complexity to the narrative. Her identity remains unknown but her inclusion suggests that women played significant roles behind closed doors during this period. Peterssen masterfully captures both historical events and human emotions through his artistry in "Christian II Signing the Death Warrant of Torben Oxe.
