Ørred (Trutta) 1620 - 1669

"Ørred (Trutta)" is a detailed etching by Albert Flamen from the 17th century. The print depicts a single trout lying on a rocky riverbank, its scales and fins rendered with great precision. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the fish to life on the page. The artwork is a fine example of Flemish naturalism, which emphasized the careful observation and realistic depiction of natural subjects. This etching, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, demonstrates Flamen's skill as a draftsman and his keen eye for detail.
