Ruinerne af Trondhjems domkirkes forside 1661 1720 - 1775

This 18th-century etching by Jonas Haas depicts the ruins of the facade of Trondheim Cathedral in Norway, which was destroyed by fire in 1661. The detailed engraving, executed in the Neoclassical style, showcases the architectural grandeur of the Gothic-era cathedral. The artist's meticulous rendering of the intricate stonework and the imposing facade, with its arched doorways and towering spires, provides a glimpse into the cathedral's former glory. This print, which is part of the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a valuable historical document that preserves the memory of a significant architectural landmark.
