Louise Augusta in Culture and Legacy

Two portraits of her were painted by Danish artist Jens Juel. The first from 1784 is in The Royal Collection, London, and the second from 1787 is in the Frederiksborg Palace Museum. Another portrait of her by Anton Graff is in Sønderborg Castle.

Danish author Maria Helleberg has written a best-selling historical novel based on the life of Louise Augusta called "Kærlighedsbarn" ("Love Child"), which inspired a special biographical exhibition on the life of the princess at Rosenborg Castle.

    “Having money is just the best thing in the world.”

    —Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)

    “What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
    —Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
