Beskrivelse
Discover the fascinating world of King Christian IX and Queen Louise, known as ‘Europe’s parents-in-law’ in the 1800s. Their family gatherings at Fredensborg Palace brought together royal relatives from across Europe.
An intimate look at the royal families united in a famous 1883 group portrait by Laurits Tuxen.
Every summer, King Christian IX and Queen Louise hosted their sprawling extended family at Fredensborg Palace for the celebrated Fredensborg Days. In 1883, this grand occasion was captured by the renowned court painter Laurits Tuxen in his masterpiece, the Fredensborg Painting. This impressive group portrait features members of the royal families of Denmark, Russia, Greece, Hanover, and Great Britain.
In The Royals, Marianne Abrahamsen brings to life the stories behind each figure in the painting through concise biographical chapters. The book reveals tales of royal grandeur, strategic marriages, and family ties, alongside more personal accounts of illegitimate offspring, troubled princes, and closeted queer royals.
This captivating book is perfect for anyone intrigued by European royalty and their dramatic histories. Marianne Abrahamsen, who holds a Master of Arts and has decades of teaching experience, is also the great-granddaughter of Laurits Tuxen. She has authored two previous books exploring their distinguished family, art, and the 19th century.
