6085 - Hansen, Jakob

Hansen, Jakob Stable building at the Frederiksborg Stud in Hillerød. Oil on canvas. 34 x 52.5 cm. Inscribed on the back of the stretcher (in the artist’s own hand?) as “Parti fra Hillerödsjolm (Architect Thura).” A royal hunting lodge was built in Hillerødsholm in the 16th century, which later became the famous Frederiksborg Castle. Under King Christian VI, Hillerødsholm became the site of the Frederiksborg Stud Farm. He had an imposing Baroque stable complex built there between 1740 and 1745. The complex was designed by the famous Danish court architect Laurids de Thurah. The world-famous Frederiksborg horses were bred in these stables; in the 18th century, they were highly sought after at nearly all European royal courts as noble show and riding horses. - We ask that you request condition reports for the lots, as the condition is usually not listed in the catalog. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog.
