View of the Coast near Marina Piccola on Capri 1839

Christen Købke's "View of the Coast near Marina Piccola on Capri" is a pencil drawing from 1839, depicting a rugged coastline on the Italian island of Capri. The drawing, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark, showcases Købke's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the atmospheric beauty of the landscape. The artist's signature style is visible in the precise lines that delineate the rocky cliffs and the serene waters of the bay, evoking a sense of tranquility and grandeur. This work is a prime example of Købke's mastery of landscape drawing and offers a glimpse into the romanticism of his era.
