Description
This elaborately decorated bronze cannon from 1633 still exists and is on display at the Royal Danish Arsenal Museum. The carriages of Danish guns had been painted grey since 1805, but a few "royal" cannons were allowed to keep the red colour. Note the soldier in red in the background. Danish army uniforms were mostly red, until blue uniforms were introduced in the 1848-1850 war. Source: Henrik Bramsen, Danske Marinemalere, 1962, page 30.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1848, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
