Hornbæk kirke, sommeraften 1887

"Hornbæk kirke, sommeraften" is an 1887 etching by Danish artist Carl Locher, now held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The work depicts a serene nighttime landscape, dominated by the silhouette of a church against a moonlit sky. The church, a prominent feature in the composition, stands tall amongst a cluster of houses, creating a sense of peace and tranquility. Locher's masterful use of shadow and light adds depth to the scene, highlighting the details of the buildings and the surrounding fields. The simple composition and subdued tones evoke a sense of calm and serenity, characteristic of Locher's later works.
