"Leonora Christine i Fængslet" (Leonora Christine in Prison) is a significant historical painting by the Danish artist Kristian Zahrtmann, created in 1875. The artwork is a representation of Leonora Christina Ulfeldt, a Danish noblewoman and writer, during her imprisonment in the Blue Tower (Blaatårn) of Copenhagen Castle. Leonora Christina was the daughter of King Christian IV of Denmark and Kirsten Munk, and she was incarcerated for over two decades, from 1663 to 1685, due to the political machinations surrounding her husband, Corfitz Ulfeldt, who was accused of treason.

Zahrtmann, known for his historical and often dramatic paintings, was deeply fascinated by Leonora Christina's life and her memoir, "Jammers Minde" (A Memory of Lament), which she wrote while in captivity. His portrayal of her in prison reflects the stoicism and resilience she exhibited in the face of her long and unjust imprisonment. The painting is characterized by Zahrtmann's use of rich colors and a strong narrative element, which was typical of his work during the period.

The painting not only captures a moment in the life of a notable historical figure but also reflects the 19th-century Romantic interest in national history and individual heroism. "Leonora Christine i Fængslet" is considered one of Zahrtmann's masterpieces and is an important part of Danish cultural heritage. It is often highlighted for its emotional depth and the way it conveys the dignity and fortitude of Leonora Christina under duress. The work remains an enduring example of Zahrtmann's skill in historical storytelling through art and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Leonora Christina Ulfeldt in Danish history.
