"The Cremation of the Vikings" is a historical painting by the Danish artist Constantin Hansen, created in 1839. The artwork is a representation of a scene from the Viking Age, depicting the ritual cremation of a Viking chieftain, a practice that was part of the Norse funerary customs. Hansen, a central figure of the Golden Age of Danish Painting, was known for his contributions to historical and genre painting, as well as his work as a decorative artist.

In "The Cremation of the Vikings," Hansen captures the solemnity and ritualistic importance of the Viking funeral. The painting is characterized by its attention to detail, historical accuracy, and the use of subdued colors to convey the somber mood of the ceremony. Hansen's composition focuses on the gathered figures around the pyre, dressed in period attire, which reflects his extensive research into Viking culture and traditions.

The artwork is significant for its role in the Danish national romantic movement, where artists sought to explore and express Denmark's history and cultural heritage. "The Cremation of the Vikings" not only serves as an artistic interpretation of a historical event but also as a reflection of the 19th-century interest in the nation's past. The painting is an example of how Hansen, along with his contemporaries, contributed to the construction of a national identity through the visual arts.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark (Statens Museum for Kunst) in Copenhagen. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact that offers insight into both the Viking Age and the Danish Golden Age.
