Frølich was particularly celebrated for his illustrations of Nordic mythology and historical themes, as well as his work in children's literature.
Peder Severin Krøyer, often referred to as P.S. Krøyer, was one of the most prominent members of the Skagen Painters, a group of Scandinavian artists who gathered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Danish fishing village of Skagen. Krøyer was known for his ability to capture light and atmosphere in his works, as well as his skill in portraiture. His depiction of Lorenz Frølich is an example of his talent in portraying individuals with a sense of character and presence.
The exact date of the painting is not widely documented, but it is believed to have been created during the late 19th century, a period when Krøyer was actively producing portraits of notable figures in Danish society. The portrait is executed in oil on canvas, a medium commonly used by Krøyer, and showcases his meticulous attention to detail and ability to convey the personality of his subject.
In the painting, Frølich is presented in a dignified manner, reflecting his status as an esteemed artist. The composition focuses on the upper body of the sitter, with an emphasis on his facial expression and posture. Krøyer's use of light and shadow adds depth to the portrait, highlighting Frølich's features and creating a sense of realism.
The painting is part of the collection of the Hirschsprung Collection (Den Hirschsprungske Samling) in Copenhagen, Denmark. This museum is dedicated to 19th and early 20th-century Danish art and houses a significant number of works by P.S. Krøyer and other members of the Skagen Painters. The inclusion of Lorenz Frølich by Peder Severin Krøyer in the Hirschsprung Collection underscores the importance of both artists in the context of Danish cultural history.
