Heinrich Grosch’s 1797 print, “Fra Assistens Kirkegaard, (iflg . gml. auk.kat) park med søjle i måneskin,” depicts a moonlit cemetery scene, featuring a prominent column, a tree, and a glimpse of a tombstone. The use of moonlight and shadows creates a somber atmosphere, typical of the Romantic era, highlighting the artist's interest in the beauty of nature and its capacity for inspiring melancholy reflection. The work is a fine example of Grosch's skill in printmaking, evident in the delicate lines and detailed textures of the foliage. The print, currently housed in the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the artistry of this Danish artist, known for his depictions of the natural world.
