Abendruhe 1829 - 1899

"Abendruhe," created between 1829 and 1899 by Danish artist H.P. Hansen, is a black and white print depicting a pastoral scene. The print features a couple and their child walking with a flock of sheep through a wooded landscape. The setting sun illuminates the mountain range in the background, casting long shadows over the scene. This idyllic image of a family returning home at dusk is a classic example of the Romantic style. The artwork, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, highlights the beauty of nature and the importance of family.
