"A Scene From A Ludvig Holberg Comedy" is a painting by the Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand (1810–1873), who was a prominent figure in the Golden Age of Danish Painting. Marstrand was renowned for his genre paintings, often depicting scenes from everyday life, historical narratives, and interpretations of literature. This particular work reflects Marstrand's interest in the plays of Ludvig Holberg, a writer often referred to as the "Molière of the North."

Ludvig Holberg (1684–1754) was a Danish-Norwegian writer, essayist, philosopher, historian, and playwright born in Bergen, Norway, during the time of the Dano-Norwegian dual monarchy. He is considered one of the founders of modern Danish and Norwegian literature. Holberg's comedies were known for their satirical wit and have been likened to those of Molière, whom he admired.

In "A Scene From A Ludvig Holberg Comedy," Marstrand captures the essence of Holberg's theatrical work by portraying a moment from one of his comedies. The painting is characterized by Marstrand's keen attention to detail, lively expression, and the use of light to emphasize the drama and humor inherent in the scene. The characters are typically shown in contemporary 18th-century attire, engaging in a moment of comedic conflict or resolution that would have been immediately recognizable to audiences familiar with Holberg's plays.

The painting not only serves as an homage to Holberg's literary legacy but also demonstrates Marstrand's skill in narrative art and his ability to translate the dynamism of the stage onto the canvas. As a historical document, it provides insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of 19th-century Denmark, where there was a strong interest in national heritage and the works of earlier Scandinavian masters.

"A Scene From A Ludvig Holberg Comedy" is an example of Marstrand's contribution to Danish art history and his role in celebrating and preserving Scandinavian cultural identity through his work. The painting is likely held in a museum collection, as Marstrand's works are often featured in institutions like the National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) and other museums that focus on Danish and Nordic art.
