"Rejsedagbog" (Travel Diary) is a small-scale work by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye, dating back to 1845. It is a handwritten journal, showcasing Lundbye's personal notes and observations, offering insight into his travels and creative process during his short yet prolific artistic career. The diary, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into the mind of an artist whose life tragically ended just three years later. The intimate and personal nature of the work is a testament to Lundbye's commitment to documenting his artistic journey.
