Niels Klim troer at høre degnen i Fane Kirke. II 1786 - 1788

"Niels Klim troer at høre degnen i Fane Kirke. II" is an etching by Danish artist J.F. Clemens, created between 1786 and 1788. The artwork depicts a scene from the novel "Niels Klims Underjordiske Rejse" by Ludvig Holberg, where the protagonist Niels Klim, lying on the ground, dreams of being in church. The etching is a fine example of the Rococo style, characterized by its delicate lines and emphasis on detail, and is now part of the collection at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The etching is a small, intimate work, measuring just 182 mm by 124 mm, yet its subject matter is grand and evocative, making it a poignant example of Clemens's illustrative work.
