2007 Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate
2007 Royal Copenhagen Christmas plate,
designed by Svend Vestergaard, has the
title Christmas in Nyhavn
1670 King Christian V inagurated The New
Harbour Channel, otherwise known as Nyhavn.
Nyhavn was originally built as a quarter
for people who earned their living from the
sea - merchants, sailors, sailmakers, etc.
Owing to Nyhavn's close proximity to the
Royal Danish Theatre, however, it soon
became very popular with both the
respectable citizens of Copenhagen and the
artists of the day.
Famous artists such as the playwright Johan
Ludvig Heiberg, the composer August
Bournonville and the writer Hans Christian
Andersen referred to Nyhavn as home.
The 2007 Christmas Plate invited us into a
snow-covered Nyhavn, where the channel is
frozen around three lonely boats. Nine
houses on the sunny side of the channel
illustrate the varied architecture of the
quarter. The third house from the right was
home to Hans Christian Andersen on a number
of occasions.
Nyhavn also played an important role in the
life of artist Sven Vestergaard. He went to
art school in Nyhavn and spent many an
afternoon painting the charming and
colourful houses in this special corner of
Copenhagen.
