Mogens Gjøe 1779 - 1781

This is an engraving by J.F. Clemens, created between 1779 and 1781, depicting the tomb of Mogens Gjøe. The engraving is a simple yet elegant representation of the tomb, featuring a tall, rectangular monument with a rounded top inscribed with the name "Mogens Gjøe." The monument stands on a square base, and the background is a simple field of grass. This engraving is now a part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, and is an example of late 18th-century portraiture and memorial art, offering insight into the artistic and cultural landscape of Denmark during that period.
