1550
unspecified
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Portrait of Frederik II is a 1550 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a man in his 50s or 60s with a serious expression. He’s wearing a black outfit with a high white collar and a chain of small beads across his chest. His beard is neatly trimmed, and the background is plain and dark. The way the light hits his face makes his features stand out sharply. The artist used a simple but effective method to show depth with light and shadow. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how this technique works.
