"Gammel by" (Old Town) is a 1751 - 1828 etching by Danish artist Johan Bülow, depicting a fortified town on a rocky shore. The meticulous detail of the architecture, including the towers and windows, contrasts with the more gestural depiction of the clouds and water. This work is typical of Bülow's interest in both precise architectural rendering and the dramatic effects of light and shadow. It's currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offering a glimpse into the artist's distinctive style within the realm of landscape art.
