Antik frise 1803

"Antik frise" (1803) is an etching by Danish artist Gerhard Ludvig Lahde (1765-1833), held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The artwork depicts a scene of ancient Greek mythology. Lahde is known for his detailed drawings and engravings, often inspired by classical art and history. The frieze-like format evokes a sense of antiquity, while the fine linework and careful composition suggest a meticulous approach. This piece offers a glimpse into Lahde's fascination with the past and his talent for translating classical themes into a contemporary visual language.
