Illustration til Johannes Ewald "Lykkens Tempel" 1779 - 1780

This 1779-1780 engraving by Danish artist J.F. Clemens, titled "Illustration til Johannes Ewald 'Lykkens Tempel'", depicts a crowd of figures ascending a grand staircase leading to a temple. Clemens's meticulous detail portrays the clothing and expressions of the figures, creating a sense of movement and anticipation as they approach the temple, a motif present in Johannes Ewald's poetry. The artwork, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to the artistic collaboration between visual and literary spheres in the late 18th century.
