A Meeting in the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters

A Meeting in the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters is a monumental 1897 oil-on-canvas group portrait painting by Peder Severin Krøyer, depicting the membership of Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters during one of its meetings in the Prince's Mansion in Copenhagen.

The idea for the painting was first presented by civil servant Andreas Peter Weis (1851–1935) to director of the Carlsberg Foundation Edvard Holm dated 3 August 1895.

It was accessible for the members of the Royal Academy of Science and Letters from 2 to 6 March 1898 and was subsequently on public display as part of the traditional Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition.

[citation needed] In 1900, the painting was temporarily sent to Paris as part of Denmark's contribution to the Exposition Universelle.

In connection with the 100-year anniversary of Krøyer's birth in 1951, it was moved to a new permanent location in the academy's meeting room.
