Legendes des Siecles 1859 - 1908

"Legendes des Siecles" (1859-1908) is a drawing by Lorenz Frølich (1820-1908) and is currently located in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The drawing depicts a winged figure standing on a rocky outcropping, reaching out with his right hand towards a brilliant light source. The work is a powerful example of Frølich's skill in capturing dramatic moments with expressive lines and atmospheric shading. The drawing is executed in brown ink and watercolor and measures 275 mm x 225 mm. The work is a study in light and shadow, and the figure's dramatic pose is emphasized by the contrast between the dark background and the bright light emanating from the source. "Legendes des Siecles" is a testament to the power of Frølich's artistic vision and his ability to convey emotion through the medium of drawing.
