Træmenneskene i bøn paa den ubegribelige guds dag 1786 - 1788

This etching, "Træmenneskene i bøn paa den ubegribelige guds dag," by Danish artist J.F. Clemens, dates from 1786-1788. The image depicts a man kneeling in prayer before a group of tree-like figures with human-like faces. This scene, suggestive of a supernatural encounter, is typical of Clemens's fantastical and often unsettling imagery. Clemens, known for his distinctive use of light and shadow, creates a dramatic and eerie atmosphere in this work, inviting viewers to contemplate the mysteries of faith and the unknown. The engraving, a testament to Clemens's skill, showcases his detailed and expressive lines. The work is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
