Kirkegård med tre gravstene 1929

"Kirkegård med tre gravstene" (Cemetery with Three Gravestones) is a 1929 lithograph by Danish artist Henry Nielsen. The work depicts a somber scene, with three headstones visible through the trees, the artist employing a dark and expressive style to capture the mood of the cemetery. Nielsen's style was influenced by Expressionism, particularly German Expressionism, characterized by bold brushstrokes and dramatic compositions. This work is a poignant reminder of mortality and the fleeting nature of life, a common theme explored by the artist. The work is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
