Et linjeskib 1841

"Et linjeskib" (A Ship of the Line) is an 1841 etching by Danish artist Anton Melbye. The artwork depicts a ship of the line sailing majestically on a calm sea. The detailed rendering of the vessel and the surrounding seascape is typical of Melbye's maritime art, which often celebrated the power and beauty of ships. This etching, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Melbye's mastery of linework, creating a sense of depth and movement within the composition.
