En eng ved en skovsø 1836 - 1851

"En eng ved en skovsø" (Meadow by a Forest Lake), painted by Danish artist Carlo Dalgas between 1836 and 1851, depicts a tranquil landscape. The painting, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, features a lush, green meadow stretching to a dense forest line. Soft, muted tones dominate the composition, creating a sense of serene peace. Dalgas's focus on atmospheric detail, particularly the expansive sky with its delicate clouds, emphasizes the subtle beauty of the natural world. This work exemplifies the romanticism of Danish landscape painting in the mid-19th century.
