The Coast of Jutland Seen from Mølleknap Hills in Funen. Study 1847 - 1848

"The Coast of Jutland Seen from Mølleknap Hills in Funen. Study" is a landscape painting by Danish artist Dankvart Dreyer, created between 1847 and 1848. The painting depicts a panoramic view of the Jutland coastline, seen from the Mølleknap Hills on the island of Funen, with a soft, ethereal light illuminating the rolling hills and the vast expanse of the sea in the distance. Dreyer's work is characterized by its realistic portrayal of nature and its emphasis on atmospheric effects, evident in the delicate brushstrokes and the subtle play of light and shadow. The painting is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the beauty of the Danish landscape. It is currently housed at the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
